Flexible Spending Accounts
The Health Care Reimbursement Account is a voluntary benefit plan that offers eligible employees the ability to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Contributions are deducted from the employee's pay before federal, state and Social Security (FICA) taxes are calculated. Employees must re-enroll every year during Open Enrollment to continue participation for the following calendar year.

ASI Flex will issue (2) ASI Flex Debit Cards. The ASIFlex Debit Card (a limited use pre-paid debit card) provides an easy way to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses for you, your spouse, and any tax dependents. The advantage of the card is that you do not have to pay with cash or a personal credit card. The ASIFlex Card will allow you to pay directly from your health care account and can be used at health care providers that accept VISA and certain retail merchants that inventory eligible health care products.
