Canisius Care Flexible Spending Open Enrollment Ends

Open enrollment for the 2011 Canisius Care Flexible Spending accounts ends on December 3.

For 2011, over-the-counter drugs will no longer be eligible for reimbursement without a prescription from a physician.  This applies to any claim incurred on or after January 1, 2011, even if the claim is applied to 2010 funds.  The change, however, does not apply to other medical items such as bandages, crutches or blood sugar test kits, obtained over the counter.

To obtain reimbursement for over-the-counter drugs in 2011, submit a script to Independent Health with the receipt showing the cost of the prescription.  A script with refills only needs to be submitted with the first claim for reimbursement.

Questions regarding Canisius Care should be directed to Dawn Rotterman at Ext. 3151 or rottermd@canisius.edu.
