Health Savings Accounts: What HR Needs to Know for Health Benefits Planning

Agenda Summary: Hear an in-depth analysis of most recent tax-advantaged health care option--health savings accounts. Created by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, HSAs are intended to help individuals pay for their health expenses and save for future qualified health care expenditures tax-free. Hear how HSAs stack up against FSAs and HRAs, find out how to determine whether HSAs will fit with other company health coverage offerings, learn what you must not do to avoid obligations under ERISA, and consider the steps you'll need to take to introduce HSAs to your employees during your "open season." The featured speaker was Jay Garriss, Principal, Mellon Human Resources & Investor Solutions.

CD or tape still available for price of conference ($149.00, BNA subscribers; $224.00, nonsubscribers).
