Healthcare is stressful enough. Paying for it shouldn’t be.

What is a HSA?

What is a Health Spending Account (HSA)?

AHSA provides a non-taxable alternative or supplementation to a traditional benefits plan. HSA eligible expenses are vast, ranging from dental, vision, professional services, & hospital bills. HSA’s are a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) approved method to provide medical, dental, and vision benefits in a tax efficient manner.

Is a HSA a Taxable Benefit?

No. An HSA is an approved business expense for the employer and is non-taxable for the employee. A corporation can write off 100% of the costs related to its HSA and all expenses are non-taxable for the employees. Use HSA’s to carve out coverage for your employees such as orthodontics, physiotherapy or vision care!

Should I get an HSA for my employees?

We are biased but we believe every business owner who has an incorporated company should have one. It is the most tax effective way to run health, dental, and vision expenses through the corporation. If an employer wishes to offer benefits to their employees, they can create a custom plan for their employees arranged by class. 

 

Who can qualify under an HSA?

The employer has complete control over which employees are covered under the plan and what amount they are given to spend. The employees are categorized at the start of the benefit term and the limits of coverage are set based on the criteria designed by you and your broker. The employer has complete control and may terminate anyone at any time. 

Is this a fit for my company?

If any of these questions or comments have crossed your mind when buying an employee benefits plan, then an HSA may be for you:

  1. We only have a handful of employees. The cost of having an insured plan does not make sense due to the number of employees our company has to provide it for. 
  2. Our costs of insurance premiums are increasing every year as we are pooled in a plan that does not take our claims into consideration. 
  3. With the demographics of our employees being older or younger, the plan seems to be designed for one or the other, not both. Employees in both demographics desire flexibility. 
  4. We want to provide flexibility in our benefits plan, we do not want to govern what employees spend their coverage on. We want to provide flexibility for them to decide.  
  5. We are tired of having to pay for our benefits whether our employees use them or not. 
  6. We want to budget for and control the cost of our employee benefits plan.
