Despite the many benefits health savings accounts (HSAs) offer many advisors, brokers, HR experts and other stakeholders don’t fully understand how to maximize HSAs for long-term payoff. And, traditionally, HSAs have not drawn substantial assets from their account owners.

Join UMB to learn:

• The broker's/benefit consultant's role in long-term planning
• How brokers/benefit consultants can work with HSA vendors to offer a benefits lineup that allows employees to save for their current medical expenses as well as those they can expect to have in retirement
• The importance of best practices—including education strategies and continued communication—to HSA adoption success
• Techniques for encouraging HSA accountholders to pivot from spending to saving and investing their account balances

SRHM Webinar

The good news is that employers are uniquely positioned to help employees use their HSAs to fuel their retirement savings. In this program, Brian M. Hutchin from UMB Healthcare Services will describe how, by borrowing a page from the 401(k) playbook, companies can shift their workforce to a saver mentality and build a culture in which long-term financial wellness is a priority for everyone.
