UG> I decided to add the flexible spending account to my benefits this year.
UG> $390 not being taxed on my pay is good.
Flex plans always were useful for me until my last several years of
employment. The plans your company outsourses to are in business to take your
money. What might happen is that they make it difficult for you to submit a
claim with their "algorithms".  An example: I had a colonoscopy and that
"laxative" protocol you need prior to the proceedure comes from an online
pharmacy. I purchased the stuff with a credit card and then submitted my
reimbursement claim with documentation to get my $75.00 back and then...
nothing.... they ignore it. This is just one example yet I complained about
this to HR and they investigated. The Flex Plan company was so bad that my
employer dropped them and then contracted with another company the next year.
The new plan was not much better. They make it hard for you to file a claim
and end up taking money. It can be a scam...
