Set up of HDHP with FSA and enrolling using EMSS

jolene-meyer

I would appreciate any advice regarding the set up of a HDHP and the HSA in EMSS.  We are on 10.0.7.019 of EMSS  which has the pre-req tab on BS03.1 and BS03.3.

How will this pre-req tab assist in restricting the offer of an HSA to only those who elect the HDHP?  Annual elections are saved in the temporary tables and may be changed at any time during open enrollment (one month).  The pre-req restrictions is limited to plan type.  The plan type for an HDHP and a traditonal HP is "HL".  

I have read that some clients allow team member to elect the HDHP during the enrollment period, but enrollment in the FSA requires coming the HR and signing up using a paper form.  

While I'm asking for advice, has anyone set up a limited purpose FSA as well as the FSA for the HDP?

We had this set up last year and it really made thing easier for us. we used it for both HSA and Dependent Life. On BS03.1 under HSA all you need to do is set up Ben type=HL and Plan Code= HDHP (Or whatever your code is) for prerequisite plan. You need to make sure that when going through open enrollment Health Insurance enrollment comes before HSA so they dont get an error.
