Moving Consumer-centric Healthcare Forward

Multipurpose Healthcare Card in Action

Consumers are becoming more actively involved in the healthcare process due to the shift toward high-deductible health plans. Payers, administrators, providers and patients need tools to assist in this transition and to effectively manage the financial aspects of their healthcare.

First Data has developed the Multipurpose Healthcare Card, a powerful tool that enhances the member experience, reduces administrative costs and allows you to partner with an expert in operational excellence.

First Data’s Multipurpose Healthcare Card Delivers:

  • Access to multiple fund balances including HSA, HRA, FSA, dependent care, transit and parking funds, as well as an integrated line of credit
  • Reduced paperwork and receipt submissions, thanks to First Data’s superior auto-substantiation tools
  • Industry-leading auto-substantiation rates
  • A “one-card” solution that combines a financial card with a healthplan ID card to reduce costs and streamline operations
