WealthCare Saver is Anthem’s New HSA Custodian
On March 13, 2021, WealthCare Saver will replace PNC Bank as the custodian of the HSAs for:
- Current Anthem members who are actively enrolled in an HSA-compatible health plan.
- Current Anthem members who left their HSA-compatible health plan.
- Anthem members who have left their employer.
No action is needed
There will be no change to debit cards, mobile apps, online portals, or account history. How your Group clients enroll, fund, and manage employees’ HSA programs will also stay the same. The only change account holders are likely to notice is that HSA communications will come from WealthCare Saver instead of PNC Bank after March 13.
Employees who have left their employer and active employees who left their HSA plan are being moved to a new administrative experience.
When an employee with an HSA leaves their employer, or an active employee leaves their HSA-compatible health plan, their HSA is no longer administered by Anthem. It is considered a stand-alone account. These account holders began transitioning to a new administrator, WealthCare, on July 1, 2020. The administrative and custodial transition will be complete for all stand-alone account holders by March 13, 2021.
Transition notifications will be sent to employers and employees
WealthCare Saver will send a letter to employees about the custodial change, as well as their new WealthCare Saver account holder agreement, 30 days prior to the transition.
