2. Fund your HSA: Make contributions through employer payroll or direct deposits. Monitor contribution limits set by tax authorities and adjust as needed.
3. Use or invest your funds: Spend directly on qualified medical costs or allocate funds to investment options to pursue growth.
4. Keep records: Retain receipts for eligible expenses. Barclays provides digital tools to help track and store documentation.
