Can I use my Flex Convenience Card to pay for the entire bill at my doctor s or dentist s office?
No, the purpose of a Flexible Spending Account is to put aside pretax funds to pay for un-reimbursed medical and dependent care expenses. Your health, dental, or vision provider must bill your insurance carrier for their portion of the fee first. Your Flex Convenience Card, however, may be used for charges that are not reimbursed by your health plan, like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. After your health, dental, or vision plan has paid, you may use your Flex Convenience Card to pay for the balance. Typically physician, lab, or dental bills provide you the option to pay with a credit card. Select MasterCard® and provide the card number and expiration date as you would with your personal credit card. You will then mail that information back to your provider who will process accordingly.
