HSA Member Portal

Make the most of your HSA by understanding the tools and resources available through the HSA Member Portal.

Get Started

To effectively manage your HSA, you’ll first need to create a BRIWEB account. On the BRIWEB Login page, select “Register an Account”. Follow the instructions provided, as shown in the video. You will need the following pieces of information to register:

  • COMPANY CODE: Provided by your employer
  • PERSONAL INFORMATION: First and last name, date of birth, home zip code
  • MEMBER ID/REGISTRATION ID: Typically a 9-digit ID selected by your employer (i.e., SSN, payroll ID). Only needed if the system cannot identify you by the above information.

Receive a Request for ID Verification?

HSAs are individual bank accounts, and as a result, are subject to identity verification procedures. If your identity cannot be verified through our identity verification system, BRI will reach out and request: (1) a copy of your state-issued driver’s license, state-issued ID, or passport, and (2) a copy of your Social Security card. For your convenience and security, we provide several secure options for submitting this information online or by mail. If this information is not provided within 45 days, the account is closed and any deposits received prior to account creation will be returned to the originator.

The video to the right highlights key management features of the HSA Member Portal, including: 

  • Viewing your HSA balance and transaction history

  • 5498-SA: You may receive one form if funds were deposited into your HSA for a given tax year. It reports contributions made in the calendar year, contributions made for the prior year in the current year, rollover contributions, and fair market value of the HSA. A preliminary report is available by January 31 for the prior year. A final copy is provided between April 15 and May 31 to capture any contributions made in the current year for the prior year.

Tax reporting note: If you do not have any deposits or withdrawals in your account in a given tax year, you will not receive any tax documents. In addition to your tax forms, any pre-tax contributions made through your employer will be reported on the W-2 from your employer.

If you are looking to move HSA funds from a prior HSA to your BRI/Inspira HSA, you can complete either an “HSA Transfer” or an “HSA Rollover.” The rules and limitations for each are specific, so it is important to understand the differences between these options in order to decide which path works for you. Download our Transfer vs. Rollover Comparison Flyer to learn more about which may be right for you depending on your situation. 

TO REQUEST AN HSA TRANSFER (FORMALLY KNOWN AS AN HSA TRUSTEE-TO-TRUSTEE TRANSFER):

  • Complete the “HSA Transfer Form” and send it to the PRIOR HSA CUSTODIAN. A pre-populated HSA Transfer Form can be accessed in your account through BRIWEB. Or, click here to download a blank one.
  • Use this option if you intend to: (1) Close the HSA, (2) Send all HSA assets, (3) Have invested HSA funds that will need to be liquidated or transferred, (4) Have already completed an HSA Rollover in the last 12-months.

TO REQUEST AN HSA ROLLOVER:

  1. Login to BRIWEB and click on the “Health Savings Account” tab. From the “I want to…” dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the page, click “Make a Deposit.”
  2. Link your bank account. When setting up your linked bank account, you will have the option to immediately link the account through an integration with Plaid. If your bank is not available in the search or if you prefer, you can link your account by entering the routing number and bank account number. If you use this option, two small deposits will be made to the account and you will need to verify the amounts before the account is linked. This may take up to 2-3 days to complete.
    • To pull funds from the prior HSA and have them directly deposited to your BRI/Inspira HSA, you will need to set-up your prior HSA as your linked bank account.
    • If you received a check from your prior custodian, you can deposit the funds into a personal account and use that personal account as your linked bank account.
  3. Return to the “Make a Deposit” screen once your bank account is linked. When scheduling your HSA rollover, you will need to enter the amount and category. If you would like to enter a note for your records, you may do so. Click “Review and Deposit.” Funds are typically moved within 2-3 business days.

If an HSA rollover is marked as a “New Contribution,” it will count toward your annual HSA contribution limit. To prevent overfunding penalties (exceeding the IRS annual limit), make sure to update the transaction.

  1. Click on the “Health Savings Account” tab. From the “I want to…” dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the page, click “Manage my HSA” to be redirected to the HSA Member Portal.
  2. Locate the “New Contribution” in question under “Transactions.”
  3. Change the transaction category to “Rollover (Limit 1 per tax year).”
  4. Complete the remaining required details and submit.

Tax Reporting Note: The updated information will appear on the final forms issued at the beginning of April. If no corrections are needed, you can file your taxes at any time.

  1. Login to BRIWEB and click on the “Health Savings Account” tab. From the “I want to…” dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the page, click “Manage my HSA”.
  2. Once you’ve been redirected to the HSA Member Portal, select “Invest” from the quick actions in the upper right corner. If you are looking to create an investment account for the first time, you will be walked through the investment account set-up wizard. Click “Start Investing” to get started. Upon completion, you will receive immediate confirmation that your investment account has been created.
  3. You will be brought to the “Investment Dashboard”. You can invest in 1000+ stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs curated by Morningstar Investment Management. There are no investment minimums.
