HealthEquity announced a new collaboration with Paytient, a healthcare technology firm, to offer employees greater confidence pursuing healthcare through Health Payment Accounts (HPAs). With HPAs, employees can access interest-free credit to pay for healthcare expenses not covered by insurance, helping bridge the gap between high-deductible health plans and out-of-pocket costs.
The partnership combines HealthEquity's deep expertise in health savings and consumer-directed benefits with Paytient's innovative payment technology. Together, they aim to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for millions of American workers, particularly those enrolled in high-deductible health plans who may delay care due to cost concerns.
