Consumers Taking Charge of their Healthcare Costs with Health Savings Accounts


101HEALTH & PRODUCTIVITY | GLOBAL


Employers and consumers alike are adopting Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) as a viable way to manage their health care costs without compromising care, according to two national US surveys released today.


The “2011 Employer and Account Holder Surveys,” commissioned by Xerox (NYSE: XRX), and conducted by Buck Consultants,  show a  majority of small employers (77%) believe that High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) with an HSA are key in controlling health care costs.  Additionally, more than half (56%) of account holders have found that their HSA-qualified plan provides an affordable health care option.
