New data suggests opportunity to improve healthcare consumerism among members. Most benefits managers recognize the power of consumer-directed benefits when it comes to shaping behavior. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) give people the tools they need to take control of their healthcare and maximize purchasing power.

This paper includes strategies that cover:
- Employer contributions
- Employee education
- Price transparency
- Telehealth services
