Financial services vendor U.S. Bank Healthcare Payment Solutions will offer consumers a payment card linked to their health savings account. U.S. Bank Healthcare Payments Solutions processes payments and collections for providers and consumers. A division of U.S. Bancorp, the vendor offers HSAs as part of the emerging consumer-directed health care plans, which entail high deductibles. Using one card, patients can tap into their HSAs and other tax-advantaged accounts related to health services, the company says. The card works in conjunction with a Web portal where consumers track health care purchasing transactions across multiple accounts.
