WEX’s Health Division Introduces National HSA Awareness Day Event, Partners with Renowned Financial Expert Jean Chatzky
Summary
HSA Awareness Day is designed to help Americans understand the many ways that HSAs can be used to save money using pre-tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. On October 15, Chatzky and WEX’s Health division will co-host a live-streamed discussion about best practices for building financial preparedness for unexpected healthcare costs and will debunk myths and misconceptions about HSAs. “The larger goal is to encourage people to ask questions, engage in dialogue with their employers or providers, and make smart healthcare benefits choices that will not only save them money, but also set them up for success should something unexpected happen at any stage of life.” WEX’s Health divisions’ research shows that millions of consumers are still in the dark on the benefits of an HSA, missing out on opportunities to both better prepare for healthcare costs and save for retirement. “We thoughtfully and purposely designated October 15 as National HSA Awareness Day as it is just ahead of open enrollment season for most employer benefits plans. HSAs will be top of mind for consumers as they make important and impactful decisions during the enrollment process,” says Jeff Young, president, Health, WEX.
