An FSA is a Flexible Spending account that allows you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible healthcare and/or dependent care expenses. This means that you could save approximately $.30 on every dollar you contribute! The amount that you choose to contribute is taken out of your paycheck in equal amounts each pay period, making it easy to save for out-of-pocket expenses. NKCH’s vendor of choice is Navia Benefit Solutions. Remember to use all your contributions each plan year because no funds can be carried over to the next year.

You will only be reimbursed for the expenses incurred up to the amount you have contributed at the time of your claim.

What types of receipts are accepted?
Proper receipt documentation for the Health FSA is defined as an itemized statement from a third party provider that includes date of service, service rendered or item purchased and the amount owed to the provider. For the Day Care FSA, the receipt should include the signature of the provider and the age of the dependent(s).
Some examples:
- Itemized statement from provider detailing date and type of service rendered

- Explanation of benefits from insurance provider

Your elections will remain in effect for the entire plan year and cannot be changed unless you have a qualifying event such as a birth of a child or a marriage. These accounts operate on a “USE OR LOSE” basis. Once you sign up for the plan, the dollars that are deducted pre-tax will remain in the designated accounts until you file claims for reimbursement.
Claims must be submitted to Navia Benefit Solutions by 03/31/20 for expenses incurred in 2019 to avoid plan forfeitures.
