Health Savings Accounts

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account that you can put money into to save for
future medical expenses. There are certain advantages to putting money into these
accounts, including favorable tax treatment. HSAs were signed into law by President
Bush on December 8, 2003.  

Any adult can contribute to a Health Savings Account if they:  
  • Have coverage under an HSA-qualified “high deductible health plan” (HDHP).  
  • Have no other first-dollar medical coverage.  
  • Are not enrolled in Medicare.  
  • Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.  
Contributions to your HSA can be made by you, your employer or both. However the total contributions are limited annually. Funds can remain in the account from year to year,
just like an IRA. There are no “use it or lose it” rules for HSAs.  
Contact your local Prairie State Bank & Trust branch to speak to an HSA expert for further information on our Health Savings Accounts.
