Line of Credit

Consumers will also soon be able to apply for a line of credit attached to their existing health account debit card to cover eligible health care expenses when funds are not available. This is a common concern for individuals with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) who may incur medical expenses early in the year, in part because HSAs are funded incrementally over the course of the year. The line of credit will help bridge those early expenses while providing an affordable alternative to putting those charges on a standard personal credit card account.

While many elements of the new card are currently being utilized by UnitedHealth Group-affiliated customers through their existing health benefit cards today, the new fully-integrated card will be made broadly available by UnitedHealth Group beginning in the first quarter 2007.
