    Regence HSA Healthplan You want more affordable health coverage that gives employees control over how they spend their health-care dollars.

These funds can accumulate interest and roll over at the end of the year.
  		• Control - The funds in the savings account belong to the employee, giving them control over how their health-care dollars are spent.
