Your MSA and you

-

Medical savings accounts (MSAs) have become a standard feature on many medical scheme options. Your MSA is funded by you, in instalment­s of no more than 25% of your monthly contributi­on, over the course of the year, but you are given access to the entire amount at the start of the year. You can use this to pay for day-to-day medical costs like doctor visits, X-rays and dentist visits. Any money in your MSA that you haven’t used by the end of the year is carried over to the next year.
