The Health Spending Account (HSA) is a great way to receive tax-free* reimbursement for medical or dental expense claims that qualify under the Income Tax Act (but are not claimed on your tax return), and are not reimbursed by any other insurance plan (government or private). Eligible expenses can be submitted to your extended health plan provider for reimbursement.
* Team members in Quebec must pay provincial tax on reimbursements.
You must use any funds in your HSA by the end of the year or you lose them. You may, however, carry expenses forward to the following year (but no longer than one year).
Please refer to your benefits manual, found in the Info drop-down at the side of this page, for more information.
