New HSA plan available for January 2009 groups
Your January 2009 renewals for groups of 2-99 are available in Agent Center today. We are excited to let you know that beginning Dec. 1, 2008, Agent Center will include the latest edition to our new product portfolio, Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0SM, for effective dates of Jan. 1, 2009, and after.
Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0 offers employers a combination of innovative health care coverage and the necessary tools and support they need to fully educate, engage and reward their employees in becoming responsible health care consumers. In addition, our new HSA offers consumer-focused tools, rewards for healthy and money-wise behaviors, and competitive benefit designs at affordable rates.
Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0 will be available to groups of two or more employees for both new and renewing groups. Some special features included in this latest HSA release are:
- Valuable wellness programs
- Preventive care
- Better pricing
We think you will find the Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0 a perfect fit for those employer groups that are looking to provide their employees with complete flexibility and ownership of their health care dollars and decisions.
Agent resources
Starting Dec. 1, 2008, you will find the information and resources you need on our public site and in the HSA 2.0 toolkit on Agent Center.
Updated support materials include:
- Enhanced calculators to estimate health care costs
- New sales collateral
- Web tutorial on www.regence.com
- Dual Option Matrix and guidelines
- New preferred banking partners
Product availability changes
Beginning with March 1, 2009, effective dates, new groups will be able to choose only from our new products: InnovaSM, EngageSM, ActivateSM and Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0. Renewing groups will be able to remain on their existing products as long as no benefit changes are made. Renewing groups wanting to make benefit changes to their coverage will need to transition to a new product.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm as we introduce this new product to the Regence community. We believe that our product suite meets the needs that groups have been telling us about, and we're excited about the opportunity that they offer you and your clients.
