Health Savings Accounts – A Market Update by Cora Tellez, President & CEO of Sterling HSA

Alongside such industry leaders as Alexander (Sander) Domaszewicz, Principal of Mercer Health & Benefits and Pamela Larson, MPH Director Consumer Health for Kaiser Permanente Internet Services, Sterling HSA President & CEO Cora Tellez serves as faculty for the 10th Annual Consumerism Web Summit 2011.

An Overview of the Consumerism Web Summit:

Health Care Consumerism, in the forms of technology, web portals, plan design, and medical/lifestyle programs, continues to experience evolution and growth at a rapid rate. Stakeholders must position themselves in this evolving environment also shaped by the added complexities of health reform, a down economy, and heightened employer, consumer and marketplace demands. Keep pace with the trends, issues, challenges and opportunities and the available business intelligence surrounding consumer empowerment initiatives and consumer driven health plans.

This year’s event addresses consumer empowerment from employer, technology and plan design perspectives, and provides attendees the intelligence to position themselves for 2011 and beyond.

In her presentation from the Consumerism Web Summit, Cora discusses HSA trends from the viewpoint of Sterling HSA clients, including:

  • a case study detailing the experience of a particular Sterling client, a collectively-bargained group
  • the impact of the economy on individual account balances and other account activity
  • how HSAs work for working families
  • a comparison of medical spend: HDHP vs. PPO/HMO participants
