Optum Health Savings Account (HSA)


A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is a special tax-advantaged savings account set up specifically for you and your family. This account is automatically set up when you enroll in the Choice or Choice Plus medical plan options, but you MUST provide documentation for the account to be activated. You may pay for health-related expenses (like doctor visits and hospital services) out of your HSA.

When you enroll in the Choice or Choice Plus plans, HBC will make an initial contribution to your HSA. You will also have the opportunity to earn a Wellness Incentive contribution by completing wellness requirements.

HSA is administered by Optum Bank through WEX.

Optum and WEX have collaborated to provide integrated, seamless HSA administration. You will now have 24/7 web access for online claims processing, direct deposit reimbursement, online bill pay, and electronic statements - all through optumbank.com
