Blue Priority HSA
Funded by you, your employees, or both, the Blue Priority HSA provides your employees with tax-free* dollars for them to use to pay for qualified medical expenses. The account is a tax-exempt trust, administered by First Horizon Msaver, a nationally recognized provider of HSA administration.

A Blue Priority HSA works like a bank account that your employees can use to pay for qualified medical expenses. The money your employees put into their Blue Priority HSAs will reduce their taxable income for the year – similar to the money saved in a 401(k) plan.

As an employer, you may also contribute to each employee’s Blue Priority HSA. You and your employees may contribute a pre-tax amount up to the annual deductible, or a statutory maximum, whichever is less. In addition, there are yearly contribution maximums for single and family, a nominal monthly administration fee, and minimum initial deposit to open the Blue Priority HSA.

*State tax treatment may vary
