The myHSA Story...so far
People ask us where our name came from. I wish I could tell you it was by design, that it was derived from Ancient Greek mythology or we spent a ton of money at a marketing firm to get it. The real answer? It was named in a lunchroom raffle for a sh***y bottle of homemade wine on a regular Friday afternoon at my old company.

Advisor FAQ
Question:
Do unused credits get returned to the company after the grace period is over?
Answer:
The company is only charged if claims are submitted. The plan design sets a max amount the employee can spend per year but the company only pays for what is used. After the grace period reserve is wiped out by the system so the employee cannot spend the funds but it is not returned to the company since it was never withdrawn in the first place.
Question:
What is the grace period on the plan referring to?
Answer:
Grace period is the number of days after renewal that an employee can submit outstanding claims from the previous benefit year. Standard is 90 days. For example, if a plan renewed Jan 1 then an employee would have until April 1st to submit outstanding claims dated Dec 31 and prior.
