Health Savings Account (HSA)
An H.S.A. can be funded with your tax-exempt dollars or contributions made by your employer. This account can help pay for eligible medical expenses not covered by an insurance plan, including the deductible, coinsurance, and even health insurance premiums, in some cases. Employees covered under Navajo County’s medical plan that complete the participatory activities will receive contributions into their Health Savings/Health Reimbursement Account.
