Program-wide changes

Changes to this Plan

• This plan now participates in the FSAFEDS paperless reimbursement program. When you enroll for your HCFSA, you will have the opportunity to enroll for paperless reimbursement. You must re-enroll every Open Season to remain in the paperless reimbursement program. If you do, we will send FSAFEDS the information they need to reimburse you for your out-of-pocket costs so you can avoid filing paper claims.

Changes to our High Option only
