Virtual Open Enrollment Benefits Presentation: As presented October 30, 2024
High Deductible Plan & Health Saving Accounts Information Session
Wednesday, November 6, 2024
Denise White-Patterson will explain the advantages of participating in a High-Deductible Health Plan, which allows you to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is a unique tax-advantaged account that can be used to pay for current or future healthcare expenses. When combined with a high-deductible health plan, it offers savings and tax advantages that a traditional health plan can't duplicate. Denise will also review improvements to the HSA contributions for 2025.
