ABSTRACT
With healthcare costs continuing to rise, health plans and insurers nationwide have been forced to seek out innovative alter natives to complement traditional product portfolios. Assurant Health realized early on that the need to develop new solutions to help individuals and employers defray escalating costs, while giving consumers direct control of healthcare dollars was absolutely critical.
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) proved to be an innovative alternative to conventional health coverage, providing a vehicle for tax-advantaged savings that can be funded by individuals, employers and employees. Building on its extensive experience with Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs - an early incarnation of HSAs), Assurant Health was able to enter the HSA market immediately.
Those attending will learn about Assurant's(TM) challenges, solutions and results, which involved:
An integrated web presence for HSAs
Market differentiating, member self-service functionality
Key back-office fund management services that streamline member payment processes and effectively link Assurant Health to its HSA custodian, UMB Bank, n.a.
Service for customers and brokers, as well as other essential call center support for HSA administration.
