Health Savings Account (HSA) for Employers
As an employer, you want your people to maintain a balanced and healthy well-being. At CapEd, we'd like to help you handle the financial aspects of that well-being with an employee Health Savings Account (HSA) Program.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a savings account used to save money to pay for deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and other eligible medical expenses. These deposits are tax-free1 as long as the funds are used to pay for eligible medical expenses.
Providing an HSA plan for your employees results in many benefits for both your people and your business.
