It’s easy with the help of HSA Store’s Expense Dashboard
Using your health savings account (HSA) as a long-term investment or retirement account is a smart move for many people. You can get what you need to stay healthy now, while letting your pre-tax funds grow and accrue interest. Here’s your quick start guide to getting the most out of your HSA.
Step 1
Create an HSA Store account or sign in to your existing account
It’s easy to create an account; just add your email and create a password. Then start shopping for your everyday health essentials. Everything at HSA Store qualifies for purchase with your pre-tax dollars — guaranteed.
Step 2
Shop qualified health expenses
Purchase qualified health items and pay however you want; you don't have to spend the money in your HSA. Just be sure to save your receipts, so you can reimburse yourself later.
Step 3
Track your expenses
HSA Store’s Expense Dashboard automatically stores your receipts in one safe place. You can also upload receipts from other qualified health expenses, like prescriptions or doctor visits. The Expense Dashboard will keep track of all of your purchases for you, helping you simplify everything.
Step 4
Grow your funds
Keep spending out of pocket on your health as needed, and let your HSA balance grow over time — growth and investment gains are tax-free.
Step 5
Reimburse yourself
When you're ready, use your receipts to reimburse yourself with your pre-tax funds or previously paid-for expenses. With tax savings, it's like saving $30 on every $100 spent.*
