benefitsCONNECT® Announces Real-Time Integration with First Horizon Msaver HSAs

Integration provides brokers with a solution that more efficiently serves the needs of large employer groups by incorporating self-service benefits enrollment for HSA-qualified health plans, along with an application to open the corresponding HSA.

Elk Grove, CA, June 08, 2011 --(PR.com)-- benefitsCONNECT®, a leading provider of web-based software applications for the health and benefits industry, announces the real-time integration of benefitsCONNECT® with First Horizon Msaver, Inc. benefitsCONNECT® is a web-based benefits enrollment and administration system that provides one-stop benefits management and fully automated EDI connectivity among employer groups, insurance carriers, TPAs, payroll vendors, and brokers. With a few clicks, employees who enroll in any carrier’s HSA-qualified health plan can now seamlessly apply to open a First Horizon Health Savings Account (HSA)—from within benefitsCONNECT®.

“We are pleased to team up with First Horizon Msaver to help facilitate an employee self-service process that not only streamlines the opening of HSAs, but also reduces the administrative burden for employer groups and their brokers,” says Troy R. Underwood, CEO of benefitsCONNECT®. “We expect HSA-qualified health plans to become a much bigger part of employee benefit offerings and this relationship with one of the country’s premier HSA custodians extends the functionality of benefitsCONNECT®.”

“We recognize that more and more employers are moving to web-based benefits administration systems and are pleased to create a connection between First Horizon Msaver’s HSA application process and benefitsCONNECT®,” said E. Craig Keohan, president of First Horizon Msaver. “Many employees who choose an HSA-qualified health plan never open an HSA, and they fail to realize the full advantage these types of plans offer. By making it easier for employees to open an HSA, more employees will be able to save tax-free dollars for their healthcare expenses.”

The benefitsCONNECT® system enables brokers to upgrade their employee groups to a powerful, streamlined, web-based enrollment and administration system that reduces HR labor costs and provides a barrier-to-entry for competing brokers.
