BENEFITS CARD

Benefits Card
If you currently have a blue “BENEFITS CARD” with the MasterCard logo that is not expired, your
HSA/FLEX$ funds will be loaded onto that existing card. If you do not already have a benefits card, you
will automatically receive one at no cost. Now you can use your benefits card as either a credit or debit.
Log into your myPEHP account at www.pehp.org to get your debit PIN number. From the menu on the
left, choose “Check Your FLEX$ Balance” then click on “Card Status”. No charge whether the card is
used as debit or credit.sing Your FLEX$ Card

Using Your Benefits Card


Regular/Limited Flex Usage: For places that don’t accept the benefits card, simply pay for the charges
and submit a copy of the receipt with a claim form to PEHP for reimbursement.

HSA Usage: For places that don’t accept the benefits card, simply pay for the charges then log onto
your account at HSA Bank (www.hsabank.com) and do an electronic transfer of funds into your personal
account. If you choose to submit paper reimbursement to HSA Bank, bank fees will apply.

The benefits card doesn’t always distinguish which purchases are eligible. You may be asked to verify
expenses. As required by federal law, over-the-counter medicines are no longer eligible for
reimbursement without a prescription. You are responsible to keep all receipts for tax and verification
purposes. PEHP may ask for verification of charges. Limitations apply; go to www.pehp.org for
eligibility and more details.

Ending Employment
Once your employment ends, the City will no longer make a contribution into your HSA account. PEHP
will cancel your current benefits card and HSA Bank will re-issue you a new card with a new number.
However, if you plan to use a credit union or other financial institution after ending employment, be
sure to “transfer” your HSA account right before you end employment to avoid HSA Bank’s “closing”
fees.
