Health Savings Account

If you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan, you will be eligible to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA allows you to save pre-tax money through payroll deductions and to use those funds to pay for qualified medical expenses for you and your family.  The HSA is managed by Health Equity and you can reach them at healthequity.com or 866-346-5800.

  • An HSA is a bank account that is controlled by you.
  • You will never forfeit money you have deposited (unused funds roll over year after year).
  • You may keep your account if you ever leave Bryn Mawr College.
  • For Annual Maximums and College Contribution information, please see the Benefits Guidebook.
  • After you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan an HSA account with HealthEquity will be created for you.
