Health Savings Account ( HSA )

Administered by OptumHealth
If you enroll in one of the Consumer Directed medical plan options , you ’ re eligible to participate in a Health Savings Account ( HSA ) offered through Optum . If you enroll in a Traditional medical plan option , HSA contributions are not permitted under IRS rules .
Contributing to the HSA is like contributing to your 401 ( k ) – it provides a tax-free way for you to save for current and future eligible medical , dental , vision , and prescription expenses . Contributions are deposited into your account before federal , state , and Social Security taxes are withheld . And you pay no taxes when you use your HSA funds to pay for eligible expenses .
We are excited to announce the opportunity to earn Company Contributions to your Optum HSA account .
