24 24 Blue Shield PPO + High deductible medical plan paired with a Health Savings Account Health Savings Account The Health Savings Account is not a component of the medical plan as HRA is with Lumenos. It is a separate account that can be used to pay medical and other health expenses.

25 25 You keep the money even if you change jobs or insurance plans You can make contributions at any time It has triple tax advantage No Federal taxes on contributions No taxes when funds are used No taxes on earnings HSA funds rollover from year to year; no use it or lose it as with Health FSA
