Change Healthcare, HealthEquity Join Forces to Deliver Enhanced Healthcare Shopping Experience

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthEquity, the largest U.S. Health Savings Account (HSA) trust organization, and Change Healthcare, the market leader in consumer engagement and cost transparency, have announced a partnership that is already improving the healthcare shopping experience for millions of consumers nationwide. Change Healthcare recently integrated its Engagement Platform with HealthEquity, so that its users can see their real-time HSA account balances. Conversely, HealthEquity incorporated Change Healthcare's proactive savings alerts into its platform to help its users identify opportunities to save on their most common and recurring medical, dental, vision and pharmacy purchases. 

"By providing Change Healthcare customers with real-time information on their HSAs, we're making it easier for them to shop and plan for healthcare purchases," said Change Healthcare President and CEO Doug Ghertner. "HealthEquity's customers will also see immediate value in our proactive savings alerts. Delivered monthly via text or email, they make it easy for individuals to identify and act on opportunities to save money – something that's becoming increasingly important, given the shift to healthcare consumerism."

"Our integration with Change Healthcare provides another opportunity for our members to maximize health savings," said Brad Bennion, senior vice president of product and implementation at HealthEquity. "Together, our companies are empowering Americans to better spend their health care dollars and plan for the future."
