Regence is excited to announce the new Regence HSA Healthplan to the group market—a whole new HSA offering with improved coverage, seamless banking integration, and a dynamic set of employer and member tools that make set-up and administration a snap. Check out the details to see everything our new plan has to offer.

Smart new features mean a better HSA plan

While an HSA from Regence has always featured affordable rates, upfront preventive care, and one of the largest provider networks in the region, the Regence HSA Healthplan offers new and expanded features such as:

Improved Coverage Features:

• Preventive care is now provided before the deductible, with no annual limits, so your clients can focus on wellness in the workplace.
• New individual embedded deductible options are great for families, providing extra protection against the unexpected.
• Wellness programs such as the CareEnhance® Nurseline and Regence Health Coach are automatically included for groups of 50 or fewer employees.*

New Tools Make Sales and Set-up a Snap

• An educational flash provides a tutorial on the basics of the HSA, and an interactive calculator allows employees to see how the plan will work for them.
• Modular presentations provide a customized approach to your sales meetings, bringing together the critical components to meet your clients' needs - coming soon
• HSA Compliance and Selling Guides give you all of the information and resources you need to ensure groups are set up properly on the HSA plan.

• Seamless integration with Regence Financial Services, powered by Blue Healthcare Bank, means an extra level of support for both employers and members:
  • A dedicated group services team is there to help employers navigate through the set-up and open enrollment processes.
  • Employees are offered world-class support and banking integration, allowing them to manage their claims, savings account and transactions all in one user-friendly Web portal
• An interactive, guided tour provides members with personalized support with everything they need to manage their HSA-from step-by-step basics to a customized approach on how to maximize their health care dollars.
• Members are always supported by an HSA-dedicated customer service team, personal health coaches, and a 24-hour nurse hotline.
