health savings

Tax-advantaged medical account

Health savings refers to money set aside specifically for medical expenses, typically in a tax-advantaged account.

A health savings account (HSA) allows pre-tax contributions that grow tax-free when used for qualified healthcare costs: She put money into her health savings to cover the deductible.

The term sometimes appears more loosely for any funds earmarked for medical needs.
