Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) Plan
Medicare Glossary
A Medicare plan that combines high deductible Medicare Advantage Plans and a designated bank account. The plan allows you to deposit money from Medicare into the account, and use the funds to pay for Medicare-covered expenses towards your deductible. The deposited amount is typically less than your deductible amount, so there is a chance you will have to pay out-of-pocket before your coverage kicks in.
