How much HSA & FSA administration costs

Common pricing models: per participant, flat fee, per module or bundle, and custom quote. Too few vendors publish comparable list prices for us to give a price range; the models and cost drivers below explain what you will be quoted.

Pricing models explained

  • Per participant. A monthly fee per enrolled participant for each account type, the most common model for FSA and HRA administration.
  • Flat fee. Setup, annual renewal, plan document and testing fees charged per plan alongside participant fees, often with a monthly minimum.
  • Per module or bundle. HSA, FSA, HRA, commuter and lifestyle accounts priced as a bundle, sometimes together with COBRA administration.
  • Custom quote. Large employers and complex plan designs are quoted after scoping participants, account types and integrations.
