Employer's Guide to Health Savings Accounts HSAs

When it comes to managing employee benefits, employers are frequently turning to high-deductible health plans to help control costs. Not only does this approach allow employees to have greater control over their own healthcare, but when paired with a solution like a Health Savings Account, also helps employees build funds to cover expenses until their deductible is met. But managing – and keeping up with – HSA requirements has its difficulties. To help review areas such as eligibility, contributions, distributions, FSAs and HRAs, we’ve asked ERISA attorney Larry (Groo-gene) Grudzien to present today. With more than 35 years’ experience in employee benefit law, Larry has a wealth of experience in dealing with qualified plans, health and welfare, fringe benefits and executive compensation areas. He is a frequent speaker and an author; he is an adjunct faculty member of John Marshall Law School’s LLM program in Employee benefits and at the Valparaiso University School of Law and teaches a number of courses. He is also a member of the Indiana and Illinois Bars.
