Blue Cross Blue Shield of Ohio HSA Plans
Combining a Health Savings Account (HSA) with this Blue Cross Blue Shield of Ohio HSA plan allows you to make tax-deductible contributions, pay medical expenses with pre-tax dollars, and earn tax-deferred interest. This account works much like an IRA, except you may use your tax-free savings for qualified medical expenses your health plan does not cover, such as your deductible, contact lenses, or most types of alternative medicine (see the qualified medical expenses). If you do not use these funds, they simply accumulate with interest, for distribution upon your retirement.
