Flexible Spending Accounts
Flexible spending accounts through Discovery Benefits allow you to put money aside to pay for certain types of eligible expenses with pre-tax
dollars. By anticipating your expenses and arranging for deductions to be made from your pay each pay period, you can lower your taxable
income.
There are two types of flexible spending accounts:
• Health Care Spending Account
• Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (for child or elder caretaking expenses, not health claims for dependents)
You elect to contribute a specific amount each pay period. The IRS requires re-enrollment annually, so this benefit will end on December 31st
each year. You may contribute up to $2,700 per calendar year for the Health Care Spending Account and up to $5,000 for the Dependent Care
Spending Account. Please remember, while you can participate in one or both spending accounts, you cannot use money in the Health Care
Flexible Spending Account to pay for dependent care expenses or use the money in the Dependent Care Spending Account to pay for health
care expenses.
Claims Submission
When you incur an eligible expense during the year, you file a claim for reimbursement and provide proof of payment, such as an invoice,
detailed receipt or explanation of benefits (EOB). You will be reimbursed with pre-tax dollars from your account. You have several options
for submitting documentation to Discovery Benefits for reimbursement. You can submit claims and documentation online, downloa d the
mobile app and upload documentation by taking a picture of the receipt or access a paper claim form in your online account.
