    Yes – You own and you control the money in your HSA. Decisions on how to spend the money are made by you without relying on a third party or a health insurer. You will also decide what types of investments to make with the money in the account in order to make it grow.References :

    Some of the newer ones have that kind of flexibility. Some of the older ones may not, so you would need to check the specifics of yours.References :
