Health Savings Account (HSA)

Edit Content

Medical costs can be unpredictable, even with insurance. A Health Savings Account (HSA) from Chemung Canalallows you to save tax-free for qualified healthcare expenses not covered by your High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). This interest-bearing account gives you control over your healthcare spending today while helping you prepare for future medical needs.

Features

Savings: Save money for future medical expenses, building your funds from year to year.
Flexibility: Use for qualified medical expenses, including over-the-counter and out-of-pocket expenses.
Ownership: The HSA is yours, not your employer’s, and you can take the accumulated funds with you should you terminate employment.
Possible tax savings: The money contributed to the HSA through payroll deduction may not be subject to withholding for federal income tax nor other employment taxes. Many states, including New York, offer a similar state tax incentive.
Control: You decide how much to set aside, and which expenses are paid.
