SEATTLE – April 13, 2015 – Array Health and HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ: HQY) today announced a partnership to provide personal health accounts on the Array Spectrum® e-commerce platform. Through this transformative partnership, the Array Health private exchange solution will provide seamless access to HealthEquity’s personal health account offerings, including health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible spending accounts (FSAs).
The Array Health private exchange solution enables health insurers to deliver their own branded online exchange—a strategic channel that helps them differentiate their offerings, better serve their existing customers and attract new members. Array Health’s private exchange solution can be used by health insurers to manage active and retiree groups as well as individuals. The solution supports multiple funding models, including defined benefit and defined contribution, and is built upon the Array Spectrum® health insurance e-commerce platform.
The Array Health – HealthEquity partnership will enable health insurers to become more competitive by providing a new, robust and comprehensive offering that keeps pace with market demand. The personal health account offerings will accommodate both employer and employee contributions and provide account holders an opportunity to save money for qualified medical expenses on a pre-tax basis. Seamless integration during the shopping experience will allow members who qualify for an eligible plan to select from a number of personal health account options and desired contribution amounts.
“We are thrilled to partner with HealthEquity to offer a comprehensive personal health account option,” said Jonathan Rickert, CEO of Array Health. “HealthEquity is a leader in providing employers and consumers with simplified cost-saving solutions. Through this partnership, we can further expand our branded private exchange offering to help insurers provide an excellent shopping, enrollment and care management experience for employers and consumers.”
“Americans are increasingly recognizing the long- and short-term benefits of HSAs and are adopting these personal health accounts at an unprecedented rate. Our new partnership with Array Health allows us to offer our products to an even broader audience,” said Jon Kessler, CEO of HealthEquity. “We are excited about the partnership and look forward to providing health insurers with this robust new solution.”
