Flexible Spending Accounts

A flexible spending account (FSA) can help you save and set aside money to use toward paying eligible expenses like medical costs, childcare, and other health services. You keep more of your money because you don’t pay taxes on the money you put into your FSA. The amount you save depends on how much you put into your FSA and your income tax rate.

It's important to remember you’ll need to re-enroll in your FSA each plan year.

How an FSA works
Before your plan year begins, you decide how much money you want to put into your FSA. If you’re not sure, you can use the FSA Savings Calculator.
When the plan year starts, money is automatically deducted from your paycheck before federal, state, or Social Security taxes are taken.
As eligible expenses incur, you can use your FSA to help pay for them. Your entire FSA amount is available to you on the first day of your plan year, so you don't have to wait until the money is reflected in your current balance to use it.

How to get reimbursed

Getting reimbursed from your FSA for eligible expenses is easy - just submit your claims online at myuhc.com. Using myuhc.com also makes it easier for you to track account balances and turn on direct deposits for fast reimbursements directly into your personal bank account.

You may also have automatic payment available to you where claims will be submitted from our claims system and reimbursed to you. You can manage that setting on myuhc.com.
