What Are Some Advantages of Having a Health Savings Account?

Triple Tax Savings:

• • Contributions made to the account are tax-free
  • Earnings grow within the account tax free
  • Funds you use to pay for qualified health expenses are not taxed

Reliant will contribute to your HSA with each paycheck

You can take your personal HSA spending account with you if you leave employment with Reliant (you own it!)

You can invtest your money in mutual funds for more tax-free earnings (with $500 minimum account balance)

Use your HSA debit card to pay for health expenses directly out of your HSA spending account

How to Enroll in an HSA

• Register on Highmark's website, www.highmarkbcbs.com, once you have received an email from Reliant confirming that you have been enrolled. 
• Set up HSA on www.highmarkbcbs.com. Instructions to set up HSA are at www.highmarkbcbs-hsa.com.

• You will receive a debit card to use for your HSA after about two weeks.
