Health Savings Account

For the Republic Airways Community

 

About Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

An HSA allows you to save money for your medical needs, and your funds will not be taxed if used for qualified expenses. At year-end, remaining funds will carry over for use in future years, and contributions to your account can be made by you, your employer, or other individuals. Republic Airways has partnered with Elements Financial to offer you the opportunity to open an HSA with Elements.

Once you have opened your Elements HSA, you will have access to the HSA Portal. The portal enables you to keep all of your important information, like paperwork and receipts, in one place, which makes for easy retrieval and reference later.
