Important Information About Your PREPAID BENEFITS CARD
Same great card, great NEW look!
We are excited to announce that our card is getting a new look! Starting xx/xx/xxxx, as your current card is set to expire you will automatically receive the new Prepaid Benefits Card \ new blue card. You’ll receive two WEX Health Payment Cards in your name at your home address for you and your family members to use. The Cards will arrive in a special envelope that looks like this – so please don’t throw it out!
As a reminder, your Prepaid Benefits Card is loaded with the value of your annual FSA election amount (less any amounts you have already spent in this plan year.) Using your Card helps you keep cash in your wallet and makes accessing your FSA funds easy. The Card can be used, instead of cash, to pay for qualified health care expenses such as:
• Prescription and health plan copayments, deductibles and coinsurance
• “Amount Due” on medical and dental statements
• Orthodontics • Mail-order or online prescription invoices
• Vision services and eyeglasses
• LASIK surgery
• Eligible over-the-counter (OTC) items
You’ll simply swipe your Card each time you incur a qualified health care expense and the amount of your purchase will be deducted from your FSA – automatically. You can also fill in your Card number on bills you receive from providers to pay the amount you owe. You’ll have no claim forms to complete and you won’t have to wait to get a check in the mail. You can check balances or account details anytime – online. It’s that easy!
Remember, the Card will not work at gas stations or restaurants – only at health care related providers.
It’s Important to Save Your Receipts!
Your Prepaid Benefits Card will definitely improve your cash flow. However, be aware that the IRS requires the Card be used only for eligible expenses. Most of the time, we can verify the eligibility of the expense automatically. Yet, there are instances when you’ll receive a letter/notification asking you to furnish an itemized receipt to verify the expense. When you receive such a request, make sure you submit the receipts as soon as possible to avoid having your Card suspended until receipts have been submitted and approved.
What is an itemized receipt?
An itemized receipt must include: merchant or provider name, services received or item purchased, date of service, and amount of the expense. Cancelled checks, handwritten receipts, card transaction receipts or previous balance receipts cannot be used to verify an expense.
Using Your Card is as Easy as 1-2-3!
Look for additional information about how to use your new Prepaid Benefits Cards included with your card packet in the mail. We hope you enjoy this new exciting feature of your FSA!

Wellness Champions Needed
Our goal at SBPS is to continue to improve the culture of wellness at our schools and it "takes a village" to make this happen. We are needing a Wellness Champion which would be one person from each building to help promote our wellness program.
Your Role as a Wellness Champion:
- Attend an initial orientation meeting with the Employee Wellness Coordinator.
- Be the liaison between Terri Allen, Employee Wellness and your department or school. Serve as a trusted source for collecting feedback and input from employees in your department or school.
- Send out communications to promote upcoming wellness events to your respective department/division through: Email, posters and flyers, and word of mouth.
- Encourage your schools' participation in wellness activities/events.
- Use your passion for health and wellness by serving as a role model. Create excitement and motivate others at your school.
- The Wellness Champion role is an additional, volunteer duty that will not interfere with primary job duties.
If this sound like you, please contact Terri Allen at tallen@sbps.net.
