HSA
for America Additional BenefitsSave
Money on Prescription Drugs, Lab Fees, and More!
At
HSA for America, we want to help
you be smart about how you handle your medical expenses. HSAs reward informed
consumers who wisely spend their medical dollars. By taking advantage
of all the money-saving tools available, you can reduce your annual medical
costs by thousands of dollars, and have more money in your HSA as it grows tax-free
to cover future medical expenses you may have in retirement. (By the way,
the first step towards saving money is to obtain an HSA-qualified health insurance
plan. Complete instructions on how to get the best plan for your needs
can be seen on the How To Guide
page.)
- Prescription
Drug Discounts - There is a wide variation in pricing on prescription
drugs, and smart shoppers can save a lot of money by doing some comparison
shopping. To help you lower your prescription costs even further, HSA
for America has two resources which may dramatically reduce
your prescription drug costs.
The first is a Prescription Drug Discount Card that you can download immediately,
cut out, and put in your wallet. Youll have access to online pricing,
so you can be sure youre getting the best price available before you
head to the pharmacy. This card is widely accepted, offers go od discounts,
and we recommend you always check prices with this card even if your insurance
company also provides a discount prescription card.
We have another resource that will research worldwide prices on prescription
drugged, all sourced directly from the manufacturer. If there are significant
savings for your medications, you qualify to order a 90-day supply at a time.
Click on the link above to access both of these benefits.
- Lab
Fee Discounts - The biggest markups in medicine are for prescription
drugs and lab tests. Instead of paying full retail price for things like blood
work, HSA for America clients and
visitors have access to discounted pricing that reduces the costs by as much
as 80%. Simply go online, order the tests you want, and then head to
the closest participating lab to have the test run. Results are usually
available within 48 hours.
- $100
Deductible Supplemental Accident Plans - A majority of our
clients add a supplemental accident plan to go with their high deductible
health plan. These plans only have a $100 deductible, and then cover
100% for any accident, up to $5,000 or $10,000. Since most people are
more likely to have an unexpected accident than an expensive sickness, an
accident plan is a great way to buffer the high deductible of an HSA-qualified
plan. And they're inexpensive, starting at only $22 per month.
Benefit exclusions and limitations may apply.
- HSA
Rewards - In an effort to help make funding your HSA even easier,
and at no cost to you, HSA for America
is proud to announce a special program called My HSA Rewards. Now when
you shop through major retailers like Barnes & Noble, Target, Starbucks,
Netflix, and others, you will automatically earn cash rewards of 0.5% to 25%
on your qualifying purchases. All your earned rewards accumulate and
can transfer to your HSA when the amount totals at least $50. You can
start accumulated rewards immediately.
-
Bill Negotiation
Service - Insurance companies and major employers have the
power to negotiate with doctors and hospitals to receive lower prices than
the general public gets, something the average individual cant do.
Because of HSA
for Americas large presence
in the marketplace, you now have access to the same service, risk free.
Before paying a medical bill, our members simply submit your claims to our
negotiation service, and if they can negotiate a reduced bill you get to keep
70% of the savings! If they are unable to negotiate any further price
reductions, then you pay nothing. Sign
up for this service at NO COST, and receive the 70% savings rate that
is available only to HSA
for America website visitors.
- Health
Reimbursement Arrangements - Also known as an HRA, a health
reimbursement arrangement is just an agreement between an employer and employee,
in which the employer will reimburse the employee for the costs of health
insurance or other medical expenses. This is obviously a business expense,
and also a tax-free fringe benefit. If you are self-employed and have
a spouse working for you, this is for you. You can set up your plan
online in less than 10 minutes. The cost is only a one time fee of $297.
If you currently have an HRA established through HSA
for America, you may log in to your account using the form
below. Here you can view and make any changes to your Plan Documents,
and your Summary Plan Description. This is also where you can track
your reimbursed expenses.
- Annual
Comprehensive Policy Review - Because insurance premiums regularly
go up, and because your needs may change, every year our insurance clients
are offered a Comprehensive Policy Review at absolutely no charge.
At this time well run quotes on competing plans, and let you know if
it might make sense to apply for a different plan. Allowing us to do
this on a regular basis will likely save you hundreds or even thousands of
dollars in the coming years.
- International
Medical Treatment - More and more Americans are traveling out
of the country to receive medical treatment. High quality treatment
from U.S. board certified surgeons can often be had for a fraction of what
it would cost here in the U.S. Substantial savings are available on dental
work, cosmetic surgery, and even things like knee replacement or bypass surgery.
HSA for America partners with PlanetHospital
and PlacidWay.
PlanetHospitals
on-staff doctors will consult with you about your situation, recommend appropriate
surgeons and facilities, and arrange for all treatment. HSA
for America clients and visitors will have their consultation

company, connects you with your ideal healthcare service provider in a location
of your choice, and charges no fees. You are given a complete freedom

- Personal
Health Insurance Assistance - If you do not yet have coverage
with us, we are here to help. Not only can you access instant quotes
and complete information on our website, but you can also get assistance from
our friendly and knowledgeable Personal Advisors, all of whom are licensed
insurance agents. We can help you cut through the clutter and find the
plan that is best for you. To do so, simply call our office and ask
to set up a telephone appointment to discuss your health insurance options,
or fill out our online appointment form. Our receptionist will get some
information from you (age, health status, zip code) so that your Personal
Advisor can research your best options before the call. You can then
discuss the pros and cons of the different plans you are considering, and
get help choosing the one thats right for you. Theyll assist
you with the application, and then keep you informed while it goes through
the approval process. (And then they are your personal contact, should
you ever need any additional assistance!).
- Online
and Telephone Physician Consultations – Because
HSA plans carry high deductibles, you may be paying for more routine doctor
visits from your health savings account. To help you save money, we
have negotiated a special arrangement for our members with Consult
A Doctor. Get real-time access to licensed physicians, or email
your medical concerns and receive a physician’s response within hours.
Apply
for an HSA-qualified health insurance plan, and well
do our best to keep you well-informed about even more
ways you can save money on your medical expenses!

"I
really appreciate your commitment to educating people
about the insurance world"
I
am pleased with my health insurance coverage and low
premium, though of course I intend to never have to
use it. And in addition, I'm relieved to have learned
about the $100 deductible accident insurance (which
I also intend to never have to use!). I really appreciate
your commitment to educating people about the insurance
world as well as about preventing
chronic illness via good nutrition, rest, and exercise.
