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

Once logged in, select the “Health Savings Account” tab from the left sidebar. There, you’ll see:
If you pay for an HSA-eligible expense with a source of payment other than your Beniversal Card, you can reimburse yourself with HSA funds.
If you overfunded your account by contributing more than the IRS annual contribution limit, you can withdraw funds to avoid IRS tax penalties.
Note: Any HSA corrections, including disbursements to correct excess contributions, must be completed by the tax filing deadline of April 15th following the tax year. This deadline is not affected by any submission to extend the tax filing deadline. Learn more
If you’ve used HSA funds for unqualified items or services, you may be subject to an audit by the IRS and required to redeposit the amount spent. Here’s what you need to do to correct it.
Click the arrow next to “Health Savings Account” on the HSA Member Portal “Wallet” page (homepage/dashboard). Then, click the eye icon to view your account number. You’ll also find it within your monthly statements.
Account statements will be available on a monthly basis. To access them, 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. Once there, select “Profile” from the left menu. From the sub-menu, select “Statements.” All statements are available as a PDF for download by clicking the “View” button to the right of the item you are interested in accessing.
HSA tax documents are generated based on the type of activity you have in your account in a given year. Access your documents by clicking 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.
Once there, select “Profile” from the left menu. From the sub-menu, select “Tax Forms.” All tax forms are available as a PDF for download by clicking the “View” button to the right of the item you are interested in accessing. Tax documents you might find there include:
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.
Like many retirement-based accounts, HSAs allow the owner of the account to set up a beneficiary who would receive the HSA funds upon their death. To set a beneficiary for your account funds, 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.
Once there, select “Profile” from the left menu. From the sub-menu, select “Beneficiaries”. Then just select the “Add Beneficiary” button and complete the information requested.
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):
TO REQUEST AN HSA ROLLOVER:
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.
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.
