Individual Premium Reimbursement

What is it?

If you have insurance coverage that isn’t provided by your employer, you may qualify for an Individual Premium Reimbursement Account. The program will allow you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for dental or vision insurance premiums for you, your spouse, or your eligible dependents.

 

How Does It Benefit You?

Use this pre-tax account to help reduce the cost of your non-employer sponsored insurance premiums and give yourself extra savings on insurance coverages.

Deciding How Much to Contribute

First, you need to determine your anticipated insurance premium expenses in the upcoming year.  Consider what you typically spend in a year on premiums for accident, disability or cancer coverage. Calculate the total amount and set it aside, up to a maximum of $10,000 into your FSA.

Eligible Expenses

Employer-sponsored insurance or policies purchased through an exchange are not eligible for reimbursement. The following are types of expenses that may qualify for your Individual Premium Reimbursement Account:

  • Individual dental/vision premiums
  • Accident/disability premiums
  • Cancer insurance premiums
  • Hospital indemnity coverage

 

Ineligible Expenses

Health insurance premiums, including COBRA payments, are NOT eligible for reimbursement under this account.

If you’re unable to use your Benefits Card, you can pay out-of-pocket for your expense and submit a claim for reimbursement.
