By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Journal of Engineering -- WEX Health, a WEX Company and an award-winning healthcare financial technology platform provider, recently released new features and functionality to its WEX Health Cloud solution. The enhancements strengthen the industry-leading solution as well as WEX Health partners' position in the marketplace.

The release reflects WEX Health's ongoing commitment to consumer engagement, account growth, and efficiency: Engagement - Proactive communication about account activity provides timely, relevant information and peace of mind to consumers.Consumers using WEX Health Cloud can receive an expanded set of text alerts about activity on their consumer-driven healthcare (CDH) account. Specific activity tracked includes payments or contributions to their health savings account (HSA), notional payments, and the mailing of CDH-related debit cards. Additionally, consumers can receive a text alert whenever a debit card purchase is authorized and an email notification when sensitive personal data (such as address) has changed on their account. Account growth - Additional plan designs provide a platform for new possibilities, and responsive communications prompt consumers to complete steps for opening their HSA.New complex, multi-tier coinsurance plan designs open a new realm of possibility for administrators who solve for complex health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) by allowing for an individual as well as a family tier max to be tracked with each tier defined on the plan. Additionally, this complex benefit structure can be combined with any of the existing flexible deductible structures for HRAs. New customizable email options for HSAs allow administrators to send friendly reminders to consumers who have not completed all of the necessary steps to open an HSA. Efficiency - Simplified workflow for employers and increased automation for administrators improve overall value and satisfaction.Employer self-service gets a boost with a new and improved, easy-to-use interface for widely used contribution scheduling functionality. And, the addition of a new employer claims funding option (configurable by plan) tackles yet another administrator manual process through automation and simplification.
