TSCPA Health Insurance Option
TSCPA members and their families have access to the TSCPA High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that offers flexibility in choosing care providers, affordable options, and the opportunity to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is a portable savings account in which you can make deposits on a pre-tax basis. When you need money to pay for your qualified medical expenses, including your deductibles, copays and other eligible expenses not covered by your HDHP, you simply withdraw it from your HSA — tax-free. To enroll, visit www.tscpainsure.com.
