Health benefit accounts

We can help you support your employees, match benefits to your culture and lower costs for everyone. 

Ease administrative burden while supporting your employees

Addressing the complexity and rising costs of healthcare expenses is difficult for employers and employees alike, leading to financial stress and inefficiencies. Tax-advantaged accounts like HSAs, FSAs and HRAs from Optum Financial can help resolve these challenges.

Our health benefit accounts integrate easily into existing employee benefits and enable employers to offer a more complete benefits package. They’re also a powerful way to engage employees in their well-being, promote a healthier workforce and lower the company’s overall medical costs.

Employees will appreciate that our accounts reduce taxable income, reduce of out-of-pocket expenses and encourage proactive health management. Features include easy-to-use digital tools, compliance support and a variety of spending options that align with employees’ needs.
