Abstract: This paper is aimed to analyze the international experience of the use of health savings accounts and possibilities of their application in the Russian practice. In the conditions of insufficient public spending on health it is particularly important to search for new mechanisms to pay for healthcare that can attract additional resources in the sector and improve the efficiency of spending. Medical savings accounts are also of interest to the Russian health care as one of the possible tools of drug insurance, provided by the drug provision of the population of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025. The work deals with national models and possible future applications of medical savings accounts, as well as the specifics of the Russian market, influencing the choice of the model and the success of its implementation. The final chapter of the work gives general advice on incorporation of medical savings accounts in the public health system of the Russian Federation.
