How One Law Firm Reduced Costs and Improved Employee Satisfaction with an HSA

When a boutique law firm with 25 employees approached WiseInvest™, they were drowning in the rising costs of a traditional extended health insurance plan. Despite paying premium rates—nearly 40% higher than a basic plan—their attorneys and staff still felt shortchanged: limited coverage meant out-of-pocket expenses piled up quickly, fueling complaints and low morale.

The Problem

1. High Premiums, Limited Use
   Extended health insurance was draining the firm’s budget, yet employees weren’t getting the comprehensive coverage they expected.
2. Unhappy Employees
   Team members struggled with coverage limits and complicated claim procedures, leading to frustration and turnover concerns.

The Solution: A Health Spending Account (HSA)

After reviewing their situation, our WiseInvest™ advisor recommended transitioning to a health spending account. Here’s why:

• Tax-Free Reimbursements
  Employees could pay for their own medical or dental services and get reimbursed tax-free—giving them far more control over their healthcare spending.
• Tailored Benefits
  Unlike a one-size-fits-all policy, HSAs allowed staff to put funds exactly where they needed them most, addressing individual or family needs.
• Reduced Costs
  The firm discovered that HSA benefits for employees often cost significantly less than traditional group plans, cutting monthly expenses by nearly 30%.

The Results

Within just a few months, the law firm witnessed a dramatic uptick in morale. Staff embraced the flexibility of the health benefit account, expressing greater satisfaction with the firm’s overall benefits package. Meanwhile, management was thrilled to see fewer billing surprises and lower healthcare overhead.
