Health Spending Account (HSA)

When you enrol in the extended health insurance with Sun Life, you'll get a Health Spending Account (HSA), which can help with expenses that aren't covered by your medical or dental plan. Each January, you'll receive $300 for single coverage or $500 if you have family coverage. The amount will be prorated for Workmates who join midyear.
