Tips and Resources For New Plan Participants

Taking advantage of pre-tax benefit plans through a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), or Health Savings Account (HSA) allows your clients to stretch their benefits budget. With access to tax-free funds for qualified medical expenses, these accounts provide a strategic way to maximize savings and better manage healthcare costs. To ensure your clients make the most of their new accounts, here are tips to keep in mind, and reminders of valuable resources from BRI.

• Access funds easily with the benefits debit card for point-of-sale purchases or submit claims online for reimbursement through the participant portal, mobile app, or by mail.
• Monitor balances in real-time through the mobile app, text alerts, online account access, or by calling the 24/7 automated phone system at 800.473.9595.
• Refer to the Eligibility List and online FSA/HSA stores where all items qualify for purchase with pre-tax funds.
• Medical FSA participants have access to the full contribution amount upfront, while Dependent Care FSAs accumulate funds over time.
