Manage your health and wealth — together

When you are ready to retire, you’re not just leaving your workplace behind. There’s a high likelihood you’re leaving your health and wellness benefits behind, too. As healthcare coverage becomes your responsibility, you’ll need to account for what may be your largest retirement expense — healthcare costs.

Contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) provides you with an additional opportunity to set aside those all-important extra dollars you may need. It’s a way to help ensure you can cover standard costs of living and the cost of living well.

When you log in to your plan website, it’s simple to switch how much you’re contributing back and forth between your retirement savings and HSA. Any money you contribute to your HSA is calculated as part of both your projected retirement income amount and retirement healthcare cost estimate amount.
