The Optima Equity High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is a plan that also offers a Health Savings Account (HSA) option. The money you and/or the city contributes to an HSA earns interest for you tax-free and you can withdraw money tax-free for qualified medical expenses. If you do not need to withdraw funds for health care costs, the money continues to earn interest, grow and stay with you. Below you will find more detailed information about this plan and account, as well as direct links to the Optima Health website and Health Equity learning page.
