Medcom Offers Comprehensive Health Savings Account (HSA) Offering Through Partnership With Avidia Bank
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- Through a partnership with Avidia Bank, Medcom is able to expand the scope of its custodial bank offerings with a more comprehensive HSA solution. This offering addresses several critical client needs – including feature-rich HSA processing, account servicing, flexible account funding options and simple IRS reporting.
The Medcom Avidia HSA solution offers seamless interoperability between HSAs and other tax-advantaged account types in their product portfolio (such as FSAs and HRAs). Comprehensive online and mobile account access empowers participants to actively manage their HSAs. Through web portals, smartphones, and tablets, participants can access interactive education, balances, funding capabilities, transaction and contribution history, investments, bill pay, statements, and more. Employers gain powerful self-service capabilities to perform account maintenance, funding and reporting tasks.
“We saw this partnership as an opportunity to strengthen our position in the ‘bank-to-business’ HSA market by offering HSAs to Third Party Administrators(TPAs), like Medcom, with all of the superior customer service features that their employer clients demand,” said Robert Conery, COO, EVP, Avidia Bank.
With HSAs growing at double-digit annual rates and outpacing the growth of other benefit account types, employers are looking for more efficient access to robust self-service options for this important pre-tax program. As healthcare costs continue to increase, employers will continue to shift more of the cost to employees. Employees who become more exposed to plan costs will make different purchasing decisions. Medcom’s new partnership with Avidia helps to meets this growing demand.
“Our partnership with Avidia Bank – HSA enriches our HSA offerings, making it easier for our clients’ participants to use their Medcom HSA Debit Cards and funds,” said Michael J. Bracken, President of Medcom. “For employers of all sizes, offering employee benefits such as a Health Savings Account can serve as a powerful tool for attracting and retaining employees, and offer tax savings to employers by reducing their payroll taxes.”
“Medcom is a very innovative company who continues to introduce new ideas and technology to improve their business model. It is always a pleasure working with a company who is as committed to client satisfaction”, says Brian Cook, President of the Gardner Group, a leading employee benefit consulting firm in the Southeast.
