Finding a Health Savings Account
Establishing a Health Savings Account (HSA) is similar to setting up an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). You do not need permission from the IRS or any other regulatory agency. First you have to enroll in a qualified High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). Your Health Savings Account (HSA) administrator will require documentation or your enrollment in a HDHP.
