Medical Reimbursement Account

A Blue Priority Flex medical savings account allows employees to pay for eligible medical expenses pre-tax.

How does a medical reimbursement account work?
A medical reimbursement account allows employees to set aside part of their salary each pay period pre-tax to pay for out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision expenses. The total amount an employee elects for a medical reimbursement account is available any time during the year, even if the funds have not yet been withheld from his or her pay.

Several plan features help employees get their money quickly and easily, including:

• Automatic reimbursement (pdf)
• Direct deposit (pdf)
• Blue Priority Flex debit card

What expenses qualify?
Flex funds can be used to pay for health care expenses not covered by a health benefits plan — everything from doctor and dentists’ fees, to over-the-counter drugs and health plan deductible. View a list of eligible expenses.
