Please click the Flores Flexible Spending Accounts tab for more information about 2022 plan year Flexible Spending Accounts. Current FSA members, scroll to the bottom of this page for information on transitioning from Wex to Flores.

The Company offers Flexible Spending Accounts through Discovery Benefits LLC, a WEX Company. Additional features include a debit card for Dependent Care Accounts and an app for easily uploading receipts. Learn more about all of the great account features at wexinc.com.

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows you to budget and save for qualified medical expenses incurred over the course of the plan year. Dollars invested in an FSA are taxfree. That makes an FSA a great tool for saving money, especially when big expenses are anticipated. You must enroll each year to participate. FSA plans contain a “Use It Or Lose It” provision – please plan carefully! Should you leave the Company, benefits terminate on your last day of employment.

Medical FSA

Choice Plus Plan enrollees:
You can enroll in the medical FSA to cover eligible medical, prescription, dental and vision expenses. The entire election amount is available at the beginning of the plan year.

Health Savings Plan enrollees:
You can enroll in the medical FSA alongside your HSA to maximize savings. The entire election amount is available at the beginning of the plan year. Note: These funds are limited to qualifying dental and vision expenses.

Dependent Care Account (DCA)

A DCA allows you to put money aside for dependent care for children up to age 14, a disabled dependent of any age or a disabled spouse. You may receive reimbursement up to the current balance in your account at the time the request is made. To be eligible for a DCA, you and your spouse (if applicable) must work, be looking for work or be full-time students.

Using Your FSA Account

Enrollees will receive a WEX debit card for easy access to FSA funds. Simply swipe your debit card and avoid out-of-pocket costs. If you use your card at a provider with an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS), the expense will automatically be approved at the point of sale. You may need to provide documentation to show the expense is eligible. Providing documentation is easy when you use your FSA's mobile app. To find out which specific expenses are eligible, view the searchable eligibility list at wexinc.com/insights/benefits-toolkit/eligibleexpenses.

Add Up Your Savings:

You save by reducing the amount of your earnings which are subject to federal income tax, FICA (Social Security) tax, and where applicable, state income tax. Exactly how much you save depends on how much you contribute each year and on your tax situation. Most people can save between $30 and $40 in taxes for every $100 contributed.

The bottom line: You keep more of your hard-earned money—instead of giving a portion to the IRS—by using tax-free dollars for expenses you face throughout the year. And with the various mobile and online resources available, spending your account funds couldn’t be any easier.

HEALTH CARE FSA

Enrollees in the Health Care FSA (HCFSA) will receive a Flores debit card for easy access to their health care funds. Although you pay your specified election amount through weekly payroll deductions, the entire election amount is available once your benefit goes into effect.

Pay providers for services using your Flores debit card or use personal funds and submit a reimbursement request. Requests may be submitted at flores247.com, through the Flores Mobile app, or you may send requests by fax or mail. Add direct deposit to your Flores account so you don’t have to wait for a check to be mailed.

Choice Plus/Options/PPO Blue Plan enrollees may use HCFSA funds for eligible medical, prescription, dental, and vision expenses. Details on covered expenses.

Health Savings Plan enrollees may enroll in the HCFSA alongside the HSA to maximize savings.
NOTE: These funds are limited to qualifying dental and vision expenses if you are enrolled in the Health Savings Plan. Details about Limited HCFSAs.

 

DEPENDENT CARE FSA

A Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) allows you to put money aside for the care of dependents under the age of 13 or expenses for dependents over the age 13 who are mentally or physically incapable of self-care. Expenses must be incurred to allow you and your spouse, if married, to go to work. The weekly payroll deduction amount you specify will be added to your account with Flores and may be used as soon as the contribution shows in your account.

Examples of eligible expenses include: preschool, before and after school care, and day camps. More about DCFSAs.

Pay your Dependent Care providers with personal funds and submit a reimbursement request at flores247.com, through the Flores Mobile app, or submit by fax or mail. Add direct deposit to your Flores account so you don’t have to wait for a check to be mailed.

No-Wait Dependent Care Claim Forms allow you to submit only one claim form for your entire plan years’ worth of expenses. You can submit your claim for the full amount of eligible expenses you’ll incur during the plan year. Flores will enter this as a pending claim to your account and as you contribute to the account through your pre-tax payroll deductions, Flores will automatically reimburse you the same day they receive the contribution!
