National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association (NRECA) the national service organization dedicated to representing the national interests of rural cooperative electric utilities and
the consumers they serve, today announced it has signed an agreement to rollout a program with First Horizon Msaver (http://www.firsthorizonmsaver.com), Inc., one of the nation's8217;s top administrators of Health Savings Accounts (HSA) offering health care
financial services and solutions to health plans, employers, self-funded employers, and insurance brokers and consultants throughout the U.S.
Under the terms of the agreement, employees of NRECA's8217;s more than 1,100 consumer-owned cooperatives in 50 states who select an HSA-qualified high deductible health plan option during
their next employee benefit open enrollment period will be offered a First Horizon HSA account 's8211; a special interest-bearing account that will help them more effectively save money
for medical expenses.
Jon Anderson, Director of New Business and Market Research with NRECA commented, 's8220;By partnering with First Horizon Msaver, we have the ability to offer our member organizations the
advantages of a high deductible health plan coupled with a quality HSA product. Employees may choose to enroll in one of three high-deductible health plans, and can then open their HSA
account in a single online session. This eliminates many of the problems and follow-up issues created with paper-based enrollment processes.'s8221;
In a related phase of the program, NRECA's8217;s membership will gain access to a funding portal which simplifies and accelerates the process of depositing employee and/or employer
contributions into individual employee First Horizon HSA accounts.
Our emerging online technology and world class customer service fits the needs of the NRECA members's extremely well,'s8221; said E. Craig Keohan, President of First Horizon Msaver.
's8220;We are pleased and honored to have been chosen as their HSA custodian and look forward to our partnership.
