Our take
Health-eCommerce is one of the digital health industry’s leading providers of direct-to-consumer pre-tax health and wellness accounts. It is the parent company for a family of brands including FSA Store, HSA Store and WellDeserved. Combined, these serve millions of consumers in the US.
The company has flourished as an increasing number of Americans are using their workplace benefits to design healthcare solutions at a time of rising costs. Health-eCommerce’s brands have become trusted solutions for millions of consumers shopping with FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) currency.
The company has remained focused on continuous improvement and development of new/expanded offerings. This sets up Health-E Commerce nicely to remain a top player in the space.
