Maximize Your Medical FSA with Benefits Connection

If you have a health care flexible spending account, Benefits Connection can help you take full advantage of it.

Many employers offer FSAs, which allow employees to deduct pre-tax dollars from their paycheck to pay for medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance, such as deductibles and co-payments. Benefits Connection provides a clear picture of what your Delta Dental benefits covered over the course of the year, and your out-of-pocket expenses. You don’t need to search through piles of paperwork. Just log onto Benefits Connection.

You can use the secure, password-protected Claims Summary feature (in Claims Inquiry) to view a summary of all your Delta Dental claims for the past two years. The summary includes the date of service, dentist’s name, and amount paid. Your FSA may even accept this printout for reimbursement; check with your benefits plan administrator.

The Claims Summary feature can also help you organize expenses if you claim medical expenses on your income taxes.

The Claims Summary is just one of many helpful features available through Benefits Connection. You can also get complete details about your benefits coverage.
