Tips for Your Employees

Tip #1: Ask if a generic version of your prescription is available. Generally generic prescriptions are less expensive, but just as effective.

Tip #2: A theme throughout the consumer tips series is communication. If your doctor is prescribing a medication, ask if a generic is available. If not, ask if a comparable generic medication exists and if your doctor would prescribe that instead.

Contribution Options

Contributions to your employees’ health savings accounts encourage your employees to enroll in your HSA program. We make it easy for you to contribute by providing a number of contribution options to suit your needs. You may want to consider the frequency and the types of contributions you will be administering, such as employee pre-tax, employee after-tax or employer. Prior to selecting a contribution option, you must be signed up as a business partner with HSA Bank.

Note: The IRS provides annual HSA contribution limits . If you decide to contribute to your employees’ HSAs, please communicate the amount to your employees.

Detailed information, including step-by-step instructions regarding each of our contribution methods, can be found in the HSA Bank Employer Manual.
