7 FSA Update

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

9 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.comwww.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.orgwww.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.
