Press Release Summary: HSAs see rapid growth as consumers meet their own insurance
needs. How can you benefit from an emerging health insurance trend?



Press Release Body: McLeod Insurance Agency, LLC, an exclusive licensed agency of
Blue Cross / Blue Shield of North Carolina®, is pleased to offer a rapid-response
online quote service for North Carolina consumers in their efforts to take advantage
of health savings accounts (HSAs).
Health savings accounts are a federally-mandated investment vehicle originally
designed to enable US citizens, specifically self-employed citizens, to save money
to cover catastrophic medical events. However, health savings accounts quickly
blossomed into an attractive alternative to standard medical insurance, with
networks and policies that restricted consumer freedom. The 400,000 consumers with
health savings accounts in 2004 have exploded into over three million citizens, with
the US Department of the Treasury estimating that over 14 million individuals and
families will own health savings accounts by 2010. With that kind of interest, it's
obvious that health savings accounts fulfill a need felt by the average insurance
consumer in America.
North Carolina health insurance consumers will find that health savings accounts
expand their freedom on multiple fronts. On the economic front, health savings
accounts allow for tax-free savings, growth, and expenditure of medical dollars.
Additionally, the plans are self-directed, meaning that investments into a North
Carolina health savings account can be placed in vehicles as stable as money market
accounts or as risky as real estate. Finally, health savings accounts offer
consumers the freedom to chose their physician, hospital, and treatment plan.
Typically, health savings accounts are tied to low-premium, high-deductible
insurance policies. McLeod Insurance acts as a licensed provider of Blue Cross/Blue
Shield of North Carolina. With this foundation in place, their BlueOptions HSA(SM)
plan is a perfect fit for individuals and families in North Carolina's insurance
market.
For more information, consumers can visit the health savings account section of
McLeod insurance agency at http://www.nchealthbenefits.com. A five-minute online
form provides all the information necessary for a licensed, professional North
Carolina health insurance agent to contact you quickly with a quote. The form asks
for the age, gender, and location of each insured. After gathering essential
information, a qualified representative will contact customers quickly with a
detailed quote for their North Carolina health savings account.
