Consumer Driven Initiatives

We have taken the initiative in developing and delivering consumer-driven health products such as Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) accounts and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).  VEBA accounts allow employers to contribute money to an employee account that can be saved or used for medical expenses. HSA’s allow contributions from employers and employees and are available to those with a qualified high-deductible health plan.
