And yes, we can set that up for you and your company.
Contributions to HSAs generally are tax deductible by the eligible individual in whose name the account is established. Contributions made by an employer are treated as tax-free employer-provided coverage for medical expenses under an accident or health plan. Distributions from these accounts used to pay for qualified medical expenses (including over-the-counter medicines) for an individual and his family members are not taxed.
An individual will still qualify for an HSA if while covered by other types of coverage or permissible insurance (i.e., worker’s compensation benefits, dental care, vision care). If that person has coverage from high deductible health plan (HDHP), he or she will still be entitled to anHSA, even if the HDHP does not have a deductible for preventive care.

- Dentists
