  7. FSA Update

  8. Flexible Spending Accounts Agenda: • What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? • What are eligible expenses? • How do I get reimbursed?

  9. Flexible Spending Accounts • Administered by WageWorks • Tax-free dollars are used to pay for certain medical and dependent care expenses • Health Care FSA (Medical/Dental) - $5,000/yr. • Dependent Care FSA - $5,000/yr. (family limit) • “Use It…or…Lose It”

  10. Eligible Expenses • Health Care FSA • Deductibles, copays, coinsurance, glasses/contacts, over-the-counter medications, etc. • Dependent Care FSA • Daycare, before and after care, summer day camp, sitter for elderly parent. • Complete list at www.wageworks.com

  11. Reimbursement • Reimbursement card • Pay My Provider • Submit claim forms

  12. Pay My Provider • Once your WageWorks account has been established, you may access your account online and elect to cut a check from your account using this feature. • Proof of the expense will be required.

  13. Submitting Claims • Use the WageWorks forms to submit claims for health care and dependent care. • Fax along with the proof of expense. • WageWorks will send a check or you may elect direct deposit of your reimbursement.

  14. Reimbursement Card • Participants in the HC FSA receive a WageWorks reimbursement card (or their 2009 elected amount is loaded onto their existing card). • Designed to function as a debit card drawing from your FSA account. • IRS rules govern the use of the cards.

  15. Using the FSA Card • Why use the card? • Eliminates need to pay out of pocket at the time of purchase. • Does not eliminate the need to substantiate claims. SAVE ALL RECIEPTS and be prepared to submit them. • If you do not provide requested info, your card will be deactivated until expenses are substantiated.

  16. Where can the card be used? • At merchants that have a valid merchant category code such as pharmacies, doctor offices. • A list of the certified merchants can be found at www.sig-is.org • Under Publications, click on IIAS Merchant List

  17. For Your Information… • If the merchant/provider has no code, the card will be denied at point of sale/service. • You will need to pay for the expenses and submit a Pay Me Back Claim Form for reimbursement.

  18. FSA Reimbursement • When activating your reimbursement card online, update your email address in the contact information box since all WageWorks communication to participants is by email. • If you would prefer to receive paper statements, you can elect to do so at any time by logging in, selecting the FSA, then choosing View Account Statement.
