Consumer-Driven Health Care: An Update on the Rules
On Friday, September 13, 2013, the IRS issued guidance that dramatically altered the requirements for some account-based consumer-driven health plans. In addition, on October 31, 2013 the IRS issued guidance permitting a limited carryover for health care flexible spending accounts (FSAs). To assist you in understanding the practical implications of the new guidance we have crafted this 1-hour recorded webinar that looks at the revised rules for consumer-driven health plans. The webinar includes the following topics:
Health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)- a quick review of the basic rules, a look at how healthcare reform has changed several of those the requirements and a look at the new $500 maximum permitted carryover.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) – a brief summary of the basic rules along with a summary of what’s new for 2014
