Health Insurance Policies And Health Savings Accounts

Guest post by: John Clark

Article Overview: With Health Insurance Policies becoming more and more expensive, people are beginning to look into other, less traditional options. One of the more viable of these options is called Health Savings Account, or HSA. Many companies are actually turning to Health Savings Accounts for their employees. HSA’s are quite simple. It is simply a savings account in which you, or your employer, deposits money into, just like any personal savings account you would open with a bank. However, you can only make annual deposits, and, unfortunately for some, there are actually limits on the amount you can deposit each year. The annual maximum for an individual account is $3,050, and the maximum for a family is $6,150.

Health Insurance Policies And Health Savings Accounts

With Health Insurance Policies becoming more and more expensive, people are beginning to look into other, less traditional options. One of the more viable of these options is called Health Savings Account, or HSA. Many companies are actually turning to Health Savings Accounts for their employees. HSA’s are quite simple. It is simply a savings account in which you, or your employer, deposits money into, just like any personal savings account you would open with a bank. However, you can only make annual deposits, and, unfortunately for some, there are actually limits on the amount you can deposit each year. The annual maximum for an individual account is $3,050, and the maximum for a family is $6,150.

In the event that you need any sort of medical treatment, you simply withdraw from the Health Savings Account. There are several advantages to this form of payment. Firstly, and most importantly if you are paying for the account yourself, the money that you deposit in your HSA is not taxed, and it is even tax-deductible. In addition, the money in your account grows, just like any other savings account. Unlike a normal savings account, however, this growth is not taxed. Another benefit is the freedom of choice. With a Health Savings Account, you are not restricted to the doctors and procedures that traditional health insurance policies dictate. You are free to use the money on any doctor and any procedure.

Best incentive to offer employees - What's the best incentive to offer employees? Is it more health benefits? More vacation? Health club memberships? Paying for training? Cash / non-cash bonuses & rewards? I'm preparing a new package for my company and would love to get your thoughts! Thank you in advance!
list building - OK.... I think I get it. Reason I'm curious is that I'm working on a Health product site with a friend, it will fit nicely with the client base on arcamax. We're planning to set up an affiliate program to drive sales and looking for low cost alternatives to generate traffic. We will be creating several reports, and a book is already available. We just need to get the puzzle pieces in place for the site - then get the traffic.

Re: Let Your Employees Nap At Work - Hi Evan, Thanks for the post, it makes interesting reading and I must admit a power nap in the afternoon seems very appealing. I know in some countries particularly Spain they have a siesta and close up the shops for a couple of hours then re-open again in the late afternoon, not sure I could do that,LOL There has been some interest in the UK for 'quiet rooms' in some industries but that relates more to Health and Safety and dealing with stress at work by chilling out for a short period but not much has really come of it and certainly not allocated nap times but I like the idea. I think as one comment on the post pointed out, this is a great side benefit of working from home, you can allocate your own nap time. regards, Mal.
Re: Need some information on freelance jobs! - Hi Evan, Thanks for the video, you have made some excellent points there, I especially agree with your suggestion that we should add value wherever possible. Many of the training classes that I run (my day job) are on subjects relating to Health and Safety and First Aid etc and many of these courses are a legal requirement. So to add value, I make a point of writing or calling my clients when their present certification is about to run out. I also send a report from each course advising of who attended or not and when the earliest course is for those who didn’t make it to come back. My clients really appreciate this because quite often in their own busy lives they have forgotten or just don’t know. These are just a couple of ways that I try to add value and stand out from other trainers, as many of them don’t do this. This is easy recurring business for me so I can certainly relate to your video. thanks again, Mal.
