HSAs covered in The Wichita Eagle

[Phyllis Jacobs Griekspoor, "A healthy option for health plans," The Wichita Eagle, June 2004.]

Flint Hills is mentioned in this recent article on Health Savings Accounts in The Eagle. While we are planning a conference on the issue for this Fall, the October 13 event is actually another group's effort. The increasing interest in these tools is a testament to their potential:

There's a common message from Kansas businesses regarding health savings accounts, a health insurance product just now becoming widely available in the state.

That message is, "Tell me more."

"There's a lot of interest out there," said Cliff Somes with the Wichita Independent Business Association. "I anticipate that as more products become available and more vendors are out there, we'll hear a lot more about this."

HSAs are part of the ongoing "consumer-driven health care" trend, a movement intended to place more responsibility for paying for routine medical care on consumers.
