High Deductible Health Plans & Health Savings Accounts represent the hot new ideas in health insurance. If you or your company have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), OMNI BANK can set up your Health Savings Account (HSA).
A Health Savings Account is an account into which, individuals, companies, and employees can put money to save for current and future medical expenses. Any adult can contribute to an HSA if they have coverage under an HSA qualified High Deductible Health Plan; are not enrolled in Medicare; have no other general medical coverage; and cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
