12 Conversions Transition processes for existing customers to our new spending account solutions

13 Spending Account Conversions Spending Account conversions align with the broader migration initiative. If spending accounts require additional steps, there are specific communications that will occur to employers and members.

14 Conversion of Existing FSA / HRA Customers The employer controls the spending account funding and design. The conversion of accounts and services aligns with the medical migration. Spending account conversions are part of open enrollment meetings with IBC. IBC has communications materials and/or content to facilitate the migration.

15 Conversion of HSA Customers The HSA accounts and any balances at Bancorp will continue to be available. –Members can continue to use their HSA account and any investment accounts. –Customers can opt to work directly with Bancorp on accounts/contributions. Bancorp HSAs are not part of the new, integrated experience. –IBC will no longer send member enrollments to Bancorp (manual or EDI) –IBC and Bancorp will no longer reconcile accounts Changes that will occur with Bancorp and existing HSAs

16 Conversion of HSA Customers By default, the decision to open an HSA account is member driven. At plan renewal, members will have a link they can click to initiate account opening at Bank of America. –Link is not available before plan renewal. After opening, members receive a welcome kit and an HSA debit card. –Cycle takes 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly the member acts. Customers on the “exclude” list will not be included in the HSA conversion process. What steps will be taken with Bank of America?

17 Conversion of HSA Customers Employers who do not make contributions will not be impacted. Employers begin making contributions once accounts are open. The Employer Portal is the gateway to all employer activity. Employers will have the option of automatic or file-fed contributions. –There is a dedicated HSA contribution team available for support. Online reporting allows the employer to see the status of member accounts. Employers making contributions to the HSA (employer or payroll)

18 HSA Communications HSA-specific mailings to customers and members currently in a QHDHP and with Bancorp HSA. Customer outreach –Before purchasing a medical plan: A letter and FAQ that explains the options and processes and advises that there will be outreach to members. –Post plan purchase: As appropriate, communication with detailed instructions how to make employer contributions. Will also include information on portal access. Member outreach –Post QHDHP election: Information about HSA options, how to open a Bank of America HSA, and information on how to consolidate HSA funds. Producing agents will be informed through e-bulletins. IBC outreach will keep employers and members informed
