Health Savings Account (HSA)
A BankUnited Health Savings Account can help you offset certain out-of-pocket medical expenses not typically covered by high-deductible health plans. You can claim a tax deduction for contributions made by you or someone other than your employer. Distributions may be tax free if you pay for qualified medical expenses1 such as doctor’s visits, medications, medical equipment, vision and dental care.
