FSAs
With the flexible spending accounts (FSAs), you can:
- Set aside $0 to $5,000 of before-tax dollars annually in the health care FSA for reimbursement of your and your dependent(s)’s eligible health care expenses
- Set aside $0 to $5,000 of before-tax dollars annually in the dependent day care FSA for reimbursement of your eligible dependent day care expenses
Pharmacy Benefits Card: Effective July 1, 2009 all Health Care FSA participants have access to the Pharmacy Benefits Card for prescription (retail and mail-order) and over-the-counter (OTC) drug purchases. Participants can simply swipe the Card at participating merchants, and any eligible items or co-pays will be automatically charged to their FSA account (as long as there is a sufficient balance). The merchant will sort out your purchases and request a different form of payment for any non-FSA eligible items.
You should use your Pharmacy Benefits Card for reimbursement of prescription (retail and mail-order) and OTC drugs, to avoid having to submit claims for these services manually.
Note: Unless your mail-order prescription provider is listed below, you will not be able to use the Pharmacy Benefits card for payment of mail-order pharmacy charges and claims for these services will still need to be filed manually to Benesyst.
