CEO, Sika Health // Board Member, Food Lifeline // ex-Amazon: General Manager and Associate General Counsel
I've recently been working on some product challenges at work and, in doing so, was thinking about the customer problem we are trying to solve. In the course of that, I reflected on my own personal experience that brought the difficulties associated with Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to light for me - and that many other consumers run into when attempting to use their health benefits accounts. A few years ago, pregnant with my second child, open enrollment came around and I decided to max out my FSA benefit as I could foresee spending it in its entirety for co-pays as well as eligible baby and pre- and post-partum products. However, the process of using these benefits proved frustrating: transactions were inconsistently approved at checkout, with some requiring manual substantiation weeks or months later. Even after providing documentation, some transactions were declined, leading to additional administrative burdens. As a post-partum mom with a newborn and a toddler, the effort and frustration involved in trying to use my FSA funds for their intended purpose was simply not worth the savings it promised. This experience led me to opt out of FSA participation in subsequent plan years. It also underscored the need for improvement in the FSA and HSA experience. As an industry, we must streamline the process for using pre-tax dollars for healthcare expenses. Does this resonate with you? I invite you to share your perspectives on the FSA and HSA experience. How can we work together to create a more seamless and user-friendly experience for healthcare consumers? ~~~~~~ Sika Health offers simple HSA FSA payment solutions for retailers to enable consumers to use their health benefit funds seamlessly for the products that support their individual health goals. #FSAAccounts #HSAAccounts #HealthcareBenefits #EmployeeExperience #HealthcareInnovation

Cold plunges and saunas are popular right now to treat and alleviate various health conditions. Brands like Ice Barrel are helping increase access to cold therapy by enabling their customers to purchase with pretax dollars through HSA and FSA accounts with a supporting letter of medical necessity from a licensed practitioner -- all through Sika Health. Contact us to learn whether your products can qualify!

There's been a lot of hype about hot and cold therapy, and I'm fascinated by the recent developments in the space. From personal experiences with hot springs to the rise of at-home hot and cold treatments, I've wondered if there's scientific backing to the benefits. As it turns out, the research is compelling. Hot and cold therapy have been shown to: ~Reduce pain and inflammation ~Improve mental health ~Boost immunity ~Enhance recovery and flexibility And, alternating between hot and cold (contrast therapy) can take these benefits to the next level! Given my chronic knee issues, maybe now is the time to invest in a cold plunge and sauna to take my recovery to the next level. Anyone else using hot and cold therapy? #hotandcoldtherapy #recovery #wellness Also, did you know you can use your HSA or FSA funds to purchase one if you qualify under a letter of medical necessity? #hsa #fsa #healthbenefits

🌟 **Celebrating Juneteenth: Empowering Black Women Founders in the Startup World** 🌟 As we commemorate Juneteenth at Sika Health with a day of reflection, let's consider its significance and how it intersects with the startup ecosystem. 🚀 🔹 **Juneteenth's Historical Impact** On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth symbolizes resilience, liberation, and the ongoing fight against systemic inequalities. For startups, it's more than a date; it's a call to action. 🌍 🔹 **Diversity and Inclusion** Founders, investors, and teams: embrace diversity! Diverse perspectives fuel innovation. McKinsey reports that companies with ethnic diversity outperform peers in profitability. Let's build teams that reflect the world we serve. 🌈 🔹 **Broadening Market Understanding** Cultural competence matters. Startups that understand diverse customer needs thrive. By appreciating African American history and culture, founders can tailor products and services to wider audiences. 🌎 🔹 **Social Responsibility** Startups are catalysts for change. Let's drive social justice, challenge norms, and uplift marginalized voices. Juneteenth reminds us to fight for equality and dismantle barriers. 💪 🔹 **Support Black Women Founders** This Juneteenth, let's spotlight Black women-led startups. They're shaping industries, solving problems, and creating impact. 🌟 #Juneteenth #StartupLife #InclusionMatters Let's celebrate progress, honor history, and create a more inclusive startup landscape! 🙌✨
