  4. What is an FSA? An FSA is a Flexible Spending Account. There are two types of FSAs: • Health Care account • Dependent Care account Let’s you pay for eligible expenses with pre-tax dollars You contribute to an FSA with pre-tax money from your paycheck • You do not pay Federal income or Social Security taxes on this money Why should you enroll in an FSA? You could save up to 30% in what you pay for taxes. At HealthHub.com, find out how much you can save by using the Savings Calculator and Dependent Care Tax Wizard!

  5. Health Care FSA Helps you pay for eligible medical, dental, prescription, vision and/or hearing expenses that are not covered by insurance. The individuals allowed to use your health care FSA contribution generally includes: • Your spouse • Your child to age 26 (dependent may turn 26 during plan year) • Your dependent who is permanently and totally disabled. Your entire contribution is available at the beginning of the plan year. The Health Care FSA maximum for 2013 will be $2,500, due to health care legislation.

  6. Health Care expenses Eligible expenses: Medical & dental deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance Prescriptions Over-the-counter items (OTC) • As of 1/1/2011 - OTC drugs & medicines require Rx Hospital expenses Selected durable medical equipment Orthopedic devices LASIK surgery, eye glasses, contact lenses Saline/clean solutions Hearing aids and batteries Bridges, dentures, crowns, orthodontic care Chiropractic expenses/co-pays Insulin, syringes for insulin Ineligible expenses: • Anti-bacterial soaps • Dandruff or dry skin treatments • Teeth bleaching or mouthwash • Suntan/sunscreen lotion • Cosmetic surgery • Dietary & herbal supplements • Child birth classes • *A letter of medical necessity may allow some of these expenses to be eligible View a detailed listing of eligible expenses at HealthHub.com

  7. Dependent Care FSA Helps you pay for child or adult care costs. You and your spouse, if married must be actively working, seeking employment, or full-time student, in order to get reimbursed. The cost of care must be for your child under age 13 or for a spouse or dependent who is not able to take care of him or herself. You can only be reimbursed up to the amount that is available in your account. If married and both individuals are enrolled in a dependent care FSA, the combined IRS maximum contribution remains at $5,000. For example: Each individual could elect $2,500 for their dependent care FSA.

  9. Things to remember… • You can enroll in an FSA during the annual enrollment period. • You can also enroll when you first become eligible. • Once you enroll, you may only change your election if you have a change in status (i.e., birth, death, marriage, divorce, change in day care provider). You and/or your spouse do not need to be covered by your employers health plan to participate in an FSA. • Expenses must be for services received, not for services to be provided in the future. • Your employer offers the grace period, which allows you additional time to spend your money. (2 ½ months) • Your employer also offers a run-out period, which allows you additional time to submit claims for reimbursement. (90 days) • FSAs have a use-it-or-lose-it rule. If you have funds left in your FSA at the end of the plan year you will lose them.

  10. Getting started is easy with HealthHub®!Review your expenses from the prior plan year.

  18. PayFlex Card® Spending made simple. Select. Swipe. Save. What can I purchase with the card? Eligible health care expenses such as co-pays, prescriptions, vision and hearing products and certain over-the-counter (OTC) items. Eligible dependent care expenses such as before- and after-school programs, day care, summer day camps, adult care, etc. • Things to remember… • Save all receipts and Explanation of Benefits in case documentation is requested by PayFlex or the IRS. • If you enroll in an FSA, you will receive a PayFlex Card via mail in a plain, white envelope before the beginning of the plan year. • Select “credit” when you use your card.

  19. During the plan year, you may receive a Request for Documentation letter OR see an alert on HealthHub.com that states you have a claim requiring substantiation. If you receive a letter, you must respond to keep your PayFlex Card ACTIVE. If you see an alert on HealthHub.com, click on “Learn More” and upload your documentation Common reasons when documentation may be required: The amount of the expense does not match your co-pay. The merchant description provided to PayFlex from the card swipe does not clarify the type of expense. This generally occurs with dental or hospital expenses. Substantiating your card transactionsAccording to IRS guidelines, PayFlex is required to verify that all purchases made with your PayFlex Card® are eligible expenses.

  20. How to keep your card activeIf you see an alert message or receive a Request for Documentation letter, you have three options for substantiating your card transactions. Option 1: Send us the documentation for the expense. Upload, fax or mail an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) or itemized receipt for the expense(s) listed in the letter or displayed online. Option 2: Send us another expense. Upload, fax or mail an EOB or receipt for another eligible expense. The amount must be equal to or great than the amount in question. Option 3: Pay back your account for the amount in question. Send a personal check or money order to PayFlex to cover the amount. Note: If you do not respond, we will suspend your card. Once we receive and process your documentation or payment, your card will be active again.
