  7. How do I make informed consumer decisions? • Your employer wants you to have the tools available to make smart, consumer-oriented health care decisions. One such tool is HSB HealthWatch, available as a link through the HSB website. As part of your plan, HSB HealthWatch gives you: • an assessment and tracking of your health status • personalized stage-based information • medical self-care information • daily health news

  8. FAQ Q: How can I make my HSA last? A: When buying a brand-name prescription, ask if a generic medication is available – there is a good chance that a less expensive generic alternative is available. Generics contain the same active ingredients as brand name counterparts and are subject to the same strict FDA quality standards. Also, ask yourself if a trip to the doctor’s office is necessary. Use the tools available like HSB HealthWatch, E-Doc or WebMD to self-diagnose health problems you may be experiencing. There are many OTC prescription strength medications available that are less expensive and more easily accessible than a doctor’s prescription.

  9. FAQ (Continued) Q: If I don’t use my HSA this year, can it roll over to the following plan year? A: Yes, it’s your money! Unlike FSA dollars, any unused balance in your HSA will roll to the next plan year. Q: If I am no longer with my employer, is any unused balance in my HSA my money to keep? A: Yes. If you choose to leave, are terminated, or retire, you can take your HSA with you. Complete portability is a great benefit to a Health Savings Account.
