A Partnership for Better Health Benefits.

Why Be Self-Funded?

Self-funding your employer health plan offers a greater level of control and savings than fully-insured coverage. Self-funded employers have greater control about their plan’s benefits and ancillary services, medical and pharmacy networks, and member contributions. Best of all, you pay only for actual member claims received, rather than pooling premiums with employers who may have less healthy populations.

Savings.

You keep any money that doesn’t go toward paying claims… and MedBen helps you keep as much of that money as possible.

Z

Flexibility.

You choose the health care plan options that work best for your employees.

i

Regulatory.

Self-funding offers a greater degree of freedom from state and federal regulations.

If you’re fully insured, MedBen can assist you in making the switch to self-funding. And if you already have a self-funded plan in place, you’ll find that we offer outstanding service and benefit management tools.

Dedicated to helping your plan succeed.

If you’re a current MedBen client, we are pleased to serve your business and help you succeed… and if you’re not, we’d welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Here you’ll find links to useful plan administration resources. Should you need further assistance, please contact your dedicated Account Representative team.

And thanks again for choosing MedBen!

FSA Store and HSA Store simplify shopping for FSA- and HSA-eligible products. When you use your MedBen debit card at the FSA Store, you don’t need to substantiate your purchase!

FSA and HSA Stores remove the guesswork from determining if your purchase is qualified for reimbursement, and offer a 100% product eligibility guarantee.

FSA/HRA/HSA IRS-Eligible Expenses

MedBen offers two detailed lists of qualified medical expenses under Section 213 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The MedBen Health Care Expenses Table offers detailed information about FSA-, HRA-, and HSA-eligible products and service types, as well as those that may be potentially eligible depending on circumstances.

When the opening screen appears, simply type in the MedBen password HCET2022 (case sensitive) and press the “Enter” button on your keyboard.

The FSA Store and HSA Store Eligibility Lists are a convenient way to check eligibility AND shop for specific items.

To see HRA Expenses, under either Eligibility List, select “Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)” from the Account drop-down box.

Search for participating pharmacies, discount stores and supermarkets that can offer FSA-eligible items.

Most stores use an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) which identifies eligible items at checkout – you will not need to provide a receipt from these stores in most cases.

“90% stores” do not use IIAS, but 90% of their sales come from medical care items, thus making them FSA-eligible. You will need to provide a receipt from these stores.
