Optional Debit Card

If you enroll in the Health Care FSA, you will have the option of signing up for the FSA debit card. The debit card can be used to pay for eligible expenses incurred at doctors’ offices, and certain grocery stores and pharmacies. For a complete listing of grocery stores and pharmacies able to accept the debit card, please visit ASI’s website. The debit card is not available with the Limited Health Care FSA or the Dependent Care FSA.

The debit card can reduce paperwork for most co-pays and over-the-counter purchases. However, depending on the expense, follow-up documentation could be required by ASI. ASI may send requests for follow-up documentation after the purchase has been made. It is important to always keep follow-up documentation even if ASI does not request it.

The debit card will cost $1 per month. This annual fee will be deducted in full from your Health Care FSA annual election and is non-refundable. You may elect the card at any time and will only be charged for the months remaining in the year at the time you elect the card. It is important to consider this cost when making an annual Health Care FSA pledge.

ASI will mail a debit card application along with your FSA enrollment confirmation to your home address in late December/early January. If you wish to sign up for the debit card, you will need to complete the application and return it to ASI. It will take approximately two weeks to receive your debit card once ASI has received your application.

Additional information on the debit card can be found on ASI’s website.
