Spending Account Conversions

• Spending Account conversions align with the broader migration initiative.

• If spending accounts require additional steps, there are specific communications that will occur to employers and members.

Page 14: Spending Accounts Overview & Conversion

Conversion of Existing FSA / HRA Customers

• The employer controls the spending account funding and design. The conversion of accounts and services aligns with the medical migration.

• Spending account conversions are part of open enrollment meetings with IBC.

• IBC has communications materials and/or content to facilitate the migration.

Conversion of HSA Customers

The HSA accounts and any balances at Bancorp will continue to be available.

– Members can continue to use their HSA account and any investment accounts.

– Customers can opt to work directly with Bancorp on accounts/contributions.

Bancorp HSAs are not part of the new, integrated experience.

– IBC will no longer send member enrollments to Bancorp (manual or EDI)

– IBC and Bancorp will no longer reconcile accounts

Changes that will occur with Bancorp and existing HSAs

Conversion of HSA Customers

• By default, the decision to open an HSA account is member driven.

• At plan renewal, members will have a link they can click to initiate account opening at Bank of America.

– Link is not available before plan renewal.

• After opening, members receive a welcome kit and an HSA debit card.

– Cycle takes 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly the member acts.

• Customers on the “exclude” list will not be included in the HSA conversion process.

What steps will be taken with Bank of America?
