For Producer Partners: Don’t Let Your Clients Miss Out on HSA Benefits in 2012!

Do you have clients who have adopted an HSA-compatible health plan, but who still haven’t set up their HSA program? It’s not too late for 2012!

Setting up the HSA program right away ensures that your clients get the maximum tax benefits available to them and their employees. HSAs also encourage employees to make healthy, cost conscious choices because they are spending their money for medical care. In the long run, that can lower healthcare costs for employers and employees. To take advantage of the many benefits of an HSA, accounts must be opened and funded. Eligible expenses will not qualify for reimbursement from an HSA until the account is funded.

We’ve been administering HSAs since 2004. We provide your clients with all this and more:

  • Industry leading education and communication services for employers and employees.
  • Local, dedicated, knowledgeable sales and support team assigned to all groups.
  • HSA compliance experts.
  • Review of EOBs and receipts to ensure network discounts are applied correctly and expenses are qualified.
  • Unlimited HSA investment options (subject to IRS regulations).
  • One-time new account setup fees waived for groups rolling over funds from another HSA administrator.
  • Choice of monthly plans: a la carte Value Plan for $2.50 per month or all-inclusive Standard Plan for $8.75 per month.
  • Great web tools to enroll and manage accounts for employers and employees.
  • Spanish options for educational website and materials, enrollment, and customer support.

With all that experience, who else would you call to help your clients set up their program and make it start working for them right away! Please call or click here to contact your Sterling HSA sales representative today to learn more and let us help you and your clients.
