OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 4, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- First Horizon Msaver, Inc. (www.firsthorizonmsaver.com) announced today the launch of the HSA FOCALPOINT, a Web portal designed to help benefit consultants, insurance agents and third party administrators (TPAs) learn more about Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), share information with one another and electronically open new HSA bank accounts for their clients.
"We recognize the important role benefits consultants, insurance agents and brokers play in the distribution of health insurance products. By launching this first-to-market online portal, we are providing an industry focal point for HSA account enrollment, education and productivity tools to bring the most value to their benefit offering," said E. Craig Keohan, president of First Horizon Msaver.
The HSA FOCALPOINT is located on the Web at hsafocalpoint.com and contains links to numerous information sources covering the topics of consumer-driven health care, HSAs and other subjects. It also contains a Web log, or blog, where registered members of the site can post questions, ideas and comments.
Registered members may also set up pages on the site where their clients who purchase high-deductible health plans may log on and electronically open and initially fund their HSA accounts. A newly opened account is automatically linked to the registered member's account for compensation and tracking purposes.
