Cost: Complimentary

Produced & Sponsored by:

The possibilities for expanded use of HSAs could change the industry and the lives of account holders. Whether decoupling them from high deductible plans so all Americans can have access, expanding what can be purchased using HSAs, or including them as options on Veterans' plans – flexibility could make HSAs more meaningful for more people. Though the present legislative balance has prevented any changes from being enacted since the Biden administration took office, many companies within the industry are working with the HSA Council to advocate for change.  With increased understanding of the current political landscape and how it relates to HSAs, you'll leave this webcast with deep knowledge of the industry and how you can better serve clients going forward.

Join this complimentary webcast to gain timely insight to make informed decisions and provide consulting for clients and their HSA programs. Topics discussed will include:

  • How the current political landscape relates to HSAs and what you can expect from the new administration going forward

  • Communicating the value in HSAs to prevent further negative legislative impact to the industry

  • How brokers could eventually offer more HSA plans to their clients and allow for more flexibility

  • And more…
