Underwriting

If medical records are needed, the process could take longer.
Effective Dates
You may request an effective date any time as far out as 60 days after you sign your application.
You will be billed starting on your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that you have been approved. If you are already covered, it is suggested you maintain your current coverage in-force until you have received notice from either HSA for America or directly from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana that your policy has been approved and is in-force.
HSA Administrators
Your health savings account is totally separate from your health insurance, and you may use any approved bank or trustee as your HSA administrator. We recommend that you choose one from our HSA administrator page, where you can compare rates and features.

"I have been very pleased with your service and your company"
I haven't had to shop too much for health insurance in the past, because I have usually had coverage through my ex husband or employer. But when I did, it was a lengthy and arduous process causing me much anxiety and costing a huge amount of money. (In common with most people my age who have had any health issues whatsoever).
But with HSA for America, I have been very pleased with your service and your company. In particular, I appreciated the prompt follow up (which is sometimes very very rare), and I also appreciated the reassurance that I would more than likely be accepted, since I was undergoing a life and career change from active employee to self directed employment. Thank you!
