Get the most out of your savings with a Health Savings Account (HSA) from Pacific Crest. It is a savings product that offers a different way for consumers to pay for their health care. HSA's enable you to pay for current health expenses and save for future qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis.

Benefits of an HSA

  1. Tax Savings. Annual contributions are tax-deductible* from federal and Oregon state income tax. Plus, qualified withdrawals are free from federal income tax.
  2. Ownership. Funds remain in the account from year to year, just like an IRA.
  3. Earned Interest. Dividends earned are tax-free.
  4. Portability. You, not your employer, own the account, so you can always keep your HSA.
  5. Flexibility. You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for medical expenses, including those not covered by your insurance, or you can save the funds in your account for future medical costs.
Eligibility

To make contributions to an HSA you: must be covered under a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), may not be covered by any other health plan that is not a HDHP, may not be enrolled in Medicare, may not be a recent recipient of VA medical benefits and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return.

Availability of Funds

Withdrawals are tax-free if the funds are used exclusively for paying our reimbursing qualified medical expenses, such as a doctor's visit, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medicines for the owner, his or her spouse and dependents. Qualified expenses are those incurred after the account is open.

Low Balance Fee - You will be charged $5.00 per month if your Regular Share Savings (RSA) balance falls below $50.00 and is a single product share account (waived for members 62 and older, and all youth accounts).
NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY NCUA INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account"* are insured in full by the National Credit Union Administration through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to members under the NCUA's general share insurance rules. The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional share draft account (or demand deposit account) on which the insured credit union pays no interest or dividend. It does not include any transaction account that may earn interest or dividends, a negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") account, money-market deposit account, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Account ("IOLTA"), even if share drafts may be drawn on the account. *Crest Free Checking, Health Savings Checking, Crest Freshstart, and Crest Checkless Checking Accounts are the only accounts affected by this coverage change.
