Health Spending Accounts
Are you looking for a way to give your employees more say over how their health care dollars are spent and save your company money, too?
Health spending accounts, also called consumer-directed health care plans, from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network could be the right choice for your business.
Here’s how it works. A health spending account, like a health savings account (HSA), health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) or flexible spending account (FSA), is paired with a qualifying Blues health plan. Your employees can then use money in the accounts to pay for qualified medical expenses.
- Wondering which one to choose? See "How to choose an HSA, HRA or FSA for your employees."
Employees will also find it convenient to access all of their account information, including balances, recent activity, coverage information, deposits, withdrawals and eligibility from one online site.
Plans that pair with health spending accounts have advantages for businesses like yours, including:
- Saving your company money with lower premiums and improved attendance, productivity and work quality from healthier employees
- Tax advantages from savings account options
- Engaged employees with a financial incentive to become aware of the actual costs of care and to explore less costly alternatives
