UMB Bank (NASDAQ: UMBF), is pleased to announce their partnership with Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) for administering Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Humana recently expanded their Smart family of consumer-focused products to include an HSA option for all commercial groups. "UMB is please to partner with Humana," said Dennis Triplett, vice president of healthcare services. "It is a further validation of our strategy of integrating with forward-thinking health plans that are focused on consumer-directed healthcare." The HSA combines a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with a tax sheltered savings account to help individuals and families manage their health care expenses. UMB provides HSA members with a Visa debit card to use when paying for medical services. Electronic and telephonic access is available to check HSA monthly statements, request reimbursements and other related services. Humana is offering a variety of HDHP options with HSAs and several groups of mutual funds for the investment side of HSA accounts. With affordable benefits and easy access to health care services, employers and employees of both small and large businesses can experience the convenience HSAs provide.
