Many of the health care expenses that your medical, dental and vision plans do not pay can be reimbursed through the HCFSA. Some eligible expenses under the HCFSA include: deductibles and co-payments under your medical and dental plans; orthodontia expenses; eyeglass and contact lenses expenses in excess of the vision plan coverage; routine physical examinations; and over-the-counter medications.

Keep in mind, only expenses that have not been paid by your medical, dental or vision plan, or any other medical, dental or vision plan, are eligible under the HCFSA.

Submitting Claims: When you have an eligible bill (for example, a bill for an eye exam and contact lenses in excess of what is covered by your vision plan), you are able to access the funds in your account in three different ways:

1. Use the WageWorks debit card to pay for the services.
2. Pay for the expenses out-of-pocket and then submit a claim form with proof of payment to WageWorks to receive reimbursement.
3. Use the on-line bill payment system available at:  http://www.wageworks.com.

For employees enrolled in medical, prescription and dental plans offered by Kent State University, automatic submission is an available option for the Health Care Flexible Spending Account. When an eligible claim is processed through the insurance provider, the claims system will automatically check to see if the employee is maintaining a Health Care Flexible Spending Account. If so, a reimbursement claim will be generated for any co-payments or deductible amounts according to current guidelines.

If you would like your claims automatically submitted to your HCFSA, please be sure to check the appropriate line on the enrollment form.
