This account works much like an IRA, except you may use your tax-free savings for qualified medical expenses your health plan does not cover, such as your deductible, contact lenses, or most types of alternative medicine (see the qualified medical expenses).

Rate Information
Rates are available on our instant quote page. Rates are regulated by state law, and no one can offer lower rates than HSA for America.
Rates are the same throughout Missouri, and don't change by zip code or effective date. Though rates may change at any time, readjustments typically occur on January 1st of each year.
The premium can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual billing, or a monthly bank draft. The bank draft will occur on either the first or the sixteenth of each month. The initial premium can be paid with a check or credit card.
BCBS of MO PPO Network
Anthem gives you access to one of the largest networks in Missouri, with nearly 8,500 health care providers and over 60 hospitals throughout the state. The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at the Anthem PPO Online Provider Directory.
Underwriting
Anthem has one of the easiest, most efficient underwriting teams in the industry. The process is very fast if no medical records are needed. While it is always a good idea to apply at least three weeks prior to the time you need your new coverage to take effect, most applications that are done online are approved by Anthem within 24 hours. If medical records must be ordered, the application process will take longer...
The company does have the right to accept or decline any individual or family application. Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider. If you are currently being treated for depression, anxiety, or high cholesterol, please let us know before you apply so we can avoid unnecessary delays in getting you covered.
For an infant less than 6 months of age, Anthem requires nursery records from the hospital where the infant was born, office records from the infants pediatrician, and results of the newborn screening laboratory tests (available from the hospital or pediatrician).
Anyone applying for Anthem coverage that has any of the following pre-existing conditions also needs to complete the appropriate form and return it to our office via fax toll free at 1-866-284-0082 as promptly as possible.
Effective Dates
The coverage can go into effect in as quickly as 24 hours, though the applicant risks being declined if claims are submitted before the underwriting process is completed. You may request an effective date any time after the date you sign the application and 60 days later. Please note that you will be billed starting on your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that you have been approved. This is very good for someone who does not have any present coverage and would like for their benefits to begin right away. For those who are already covered, it is suggested that you maintain your current coverage in force until you have received notice from either HSA for America or directly from Anthem that your policy has been approved and is in force.
Your earliest possible effective date will be the day after Anthem has received all the necessary documents and information needed to process your application.
HSA Administrators
You may set up your health savings account with any qualified HSA trustee or administrator, regardless from which insurance company your purchase your HSA-qualified health insurance. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield has chosen JPMorgan Chase to be their administrator of choice. If you would like to set up your health savings account with JPMorgan Chase, you may submit your HSA application together with your health plan application. The Anthem-sponsored JPMorgan Chase HSA has the following fees:
- Account set-up fee: $20.00 one time
- HSA administration fee: $3.00 per month
- ATM usage fee: $1.00 per transaction
- Check book issuance (if requested): $9.95 per check book
- Convenience check fee: $0.25 per check processed
- Duplicate check fee: $10.00 per duplicate check
- Account closing fee: $20.00
You may also choose one from our HSA administrator page, where you can compare rates and features.
