STERLING HSA™ OFFERS
HEALTHFRAME™ TO ITS CLIENTS
“We
are grateful for the opportunity to work with Sterling HSA, one of the most
respected pioneers in the health savings account arena,” says Simone Pringle,
President and Founder of Records for Living, Inc., which developed
HealthFrame™. “Health savings accounts represent a significant advancement in
the health insurance industry because they enable individuals to control their
health care -- and the costs of that care – to a greater degree than ever before.
But consumers need assistance in understanding the implications of their health
care choices. Consumers quickly find that greater control over health care
expenditures creates a corresponding need for tools to support their decision
making so that they can maximize the value of their health care dollars.”
The
rising interest in health savings accounts (HSAs) reflects two important
trends: consumer desire for greater control over medical decision-making as
well as the escalating cost of health care. Since
According
to a survey conducted by
Experts
agree that as more people invest in health savings accounts, the need for
decision support grows. Individuals and families who participate in HSAs are,
as a rule, actively engaged in the management of their health and health care.
But with greater discretion comes the challenge to spend health care dollars
wisely; consumers must optimize their health care choices while avoiding
unnecessary depletion of their accounts.
The
HealthFrame™ personal health record tool helps consumers by tracking their
medical care and providing powerful decision support tools to maximize health
care benefits.
In addition to creating personal health
records, the Records For Living, Inc. product, HealthFrame™ will provide
Sterling HSA clients with HealthFrame™-enabled personalized decision-support
content such as:
o

Medical reference information

“The
HealthFrame™ personal health record tool supports Sterling HSA’s
mission to assist individuals and families with health savings accounts make
informed health insurance choices,” said Cora M. Tellez, CEO of Sterling HSA.
“We are very pleased to add this service to our portfolio and believe it will
continue to contribute to the high level of satisfaction for our services
expressed by Sterling HSA clients.”
