Medicare, Well Spent

What is a Medical Savings Account (MSA)?

An MSA is a simple plan with two parts: a high-deductible health plan and a special, medical savings account. An initial deposit of monies is placed into your account. The monies are yours to spend, move to your own bank and/or invest. It’s easy to start:

1. Establish high-deductible health plan AND medical savings account
2. Lasso Healthcare deposits money into your MSA bank account
3. You use your funded account to pay for your health care expenses
4. Plan pays for Medicare-covered services once you reach the deductible
