Client Contributions

Lynx provides the following APIs in support of Client Initiated Contributions:

API Function	Description
Get Member Contribution Limit	Retrieves HSA contribution limit of a specific member. The contribution limit depends upon a number of factors, including the health coverage type (Individual vs. Family), the tax year, age of the individual (catch up contributions can be made on January 1 of the year in which the member turns 55 and ongoing after this). Given a member, this API computes and returns the limit.
Submit Client Org Contribution	A client organization will invoke this API is to initiate a contribution from the client organization's FBO account to a member account on the Lynx platform. The API initiates the underlying banking transactions that need to occur to do the money transfer.
Submit Ledgered Incentive Contribution	Used for ledgered incentive contributions. This API is invoked to initiate a member directed incentive contribution which moves funds from the contribution FBO account to the Omnibus FBO account and provides the incentive ratio adjusted points in the member account.

Details of contribution fund movement can be found here.

Note: In the Lynx Sandbox environment, you don’t need to fund an FBO account. Lynx will provide a simulated FBO account that can be used to create dummy client contributions to member accounts.
