Palo Alto, CA, September 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Simplee has rolled out a powerful new slate of health care expense management features and expanded insurance plan support. The free online health care expense management service now provides support for 70 percent of the entire U.S. health insurance market, along with new tools for managing Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and automated monthly reports giving users a complete view of their health care related expenses for the last month and year-to-date status.

Additionally, direct support for HSA accounts, which allow individuals covered by high-deductible health plans to receive tax-preferred treatment of money saved for medical expenses, is also included in the most recent roll-out of health expense management tools available to Simplee users. With the click of a mouse, users can now link their personal HSA account data from OptumHealth Bank, JPMorgan Chase, HSA Bank, BanCorp, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, UMB Bank, State Farm, Patelco Credit Union, American Chartered Bank, First HSA and Sterling Bank for easy health savings management integrated with the Simplee dashboard.
“User feedback has been essential to Simplee’s unprecedented growth over the last few months, and we’ve received hundreds of suggestions from users since the launch of the service,” said Tomer Shoval, CEO and co-founder at Simplee. “The rollout of HSA support is a direct response user requests, and our dedication to their satisfaction has produced a service so effective that more than 85 percent of them say they would recommend it to a friend. We’re committed to building a user experience that continues to respond to and serve the needs of our users well into the future.”
Another element of today’s feature rollout is an automated monthly report that will be sent to each Simplee user via email and available online when logged in to the service. The new report makes it easy to view health care activity over the last month and year at a single glance.
