Flexible Benefits Service ImprovementsLook for a number of improvements from a July 10 upgrade to Wellmark’s flexible benefits administration system. More claim details will be included on reimbursement payments, making it easier for flex plan participants to maintain their account. On Wellmark’s flexible benefits Web site myflexonline.com, employees can view elected benefits and complete and submit claim forms — a convenient new feature that greatly speeds up the claims process. (The new system generates a pre-populated claim form users can print off and mail or fax with proper documentation to Wellmark’s Flexible Benefits department.) The system upgrade will also result in a few minor administrative changes:APPLICATION OF CHECK MINIMUM – The check minimum of $25 will now be “turned off” for all groups at two different times during the year — once at the end of the plan year, and again at the end of the runout period. This allows flex accounts to be cleared of their final balance. DATE OF BIRTH NEEDED FOR WEB ACCESS – New users of Wellmark’s flexible benefits Web site www.myflexonline.com need to enter their date of birth for online access to their flexible spending account. IDs and passwords remain unchanged for current users. NEW SPECIFICATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC DEMONGRAPHIC FILES – There are several changes to electronic demographic files for flex plan set up and maintenance. Group administrators that use this feature should have received a separate communication detailing these specifications. |
