To deliver this level of simplicity for FSA and HSA users, Health-E Commerce partners with TPAs to integrate its suite of solutions into their benefits portal. Advantages of the new capabilities include:

• Single Sign-on allows participants to access their FSA Store or HSA Store account from their benefits portal with one, secure login. This eliminates password churn for participants and customer support teams, and gives users easy access to manage multiple accounts across partner platforms.
• DirectPay allows account holders to securely integrate payment information and eliminate the need to enter their card information each time they shop at FSA Store or HSA Store. This improves the user experience, increases participant engagement in their health and benefits, and supports the corporate health and benefits goals of employers. Meanwhile, because purchases are autosubstantiated, DirectPay alleviates claim volumes and reduces customer support needs.
• Balance Display allows participants to see their balance in real time as they shop on FSA Store or HSA Store. By giving participants easy, reliable access to their current balance, employer sponsors and TPAs can help decrease the likelihood of FSA balance forfeitures, while giving participants the confidence they need to use their account without having to call customer service.

According to proprietary data from a Health-E Commerce shopper survey, 53% of shoppers say they prefer to shop where their payment information is stored; 72% prefer cardless payment options; and 74% said they abandon their cart at least sometimes because they don’t have their card information handy.

“The way people shop is changing, and so are their expectations for payment options. Our suite of technology solutions acknowledges this shift and gives employers and TPAs the resources and support they need to reduce friction at every point in the FSA or HSA journey for employee plan participants and for HR teams,” said Steve Jackson, senior vice president of sales for Health-E Commerce.
