Approximately 20% of respondents didn't know that an HSA is portable when losing or leaving a job.Health Savings Accounts are increasingly being positioned as part of a holistic retirement savings approach rather than an account to fund current health care expenses, according to the Plan Sponsor Council of America's (PSCA) 5th Annual Health Savings Account (HSA) survey, which polled more than 500 employers about trends in design and administration as well as participant usage.
