Overview: This paper explores the fundamentals of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). While not intended to be an exhaustive review of these accounts, it describes their intellectual and legislative origins and the mechanics of how they work, explores the early returns on how they are faring in the insurance market, and identifies major issues and controversies that they raise. The paper looks specifically at the basic rules for HSAs and the requirements for health insurance that qualifies as a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) for HSA purposes. Also considered are issues related to provider payments under HSAs and the administration of the benefit and the accounts.
