FSA Benefits Card

Helpful Tips on using your EBPA Benefits Card:

  • Save all of your receipts for future reference
  • Always swipe as credit (no pin #)
  • FSA Funds can be used to pay for your expenses or your tax-qualified dependents’ expenses
  • You will receive a letter requesting itemized receipts if you use your card for:
    • Dental or vision expenses
    • An amount not equal to your regular co-pay for doctor visits
    • Hospital bills
    • Ineligible expenses
    • Purchases made at non-IIAS compliant businesses
  • If you receive a letter from EBPA requesting documentation, you can either:
    1. Send EBPA the requested itemized receipt or Explanation of Benefits (EOB);
    2. Send a different receipt or EOB for other eligible expenses you paid out of pocket; or
    3. Pay back the funds

 

All University of Maine System FSA participants will receive an EBPA Benefits Card to use when purchasing qualified Health Care and Dependent Day Care expenses.

While UMS hope employees take advantage of the convenience the Benefits Card offers for Health Care and Dependent Day Care expenses, employees are not required to do so; use of the new EBPA Benefits Card is optional.  Employees will continue to have the option of submitting paper claims which may be either faxed or mailed to EBPA.  The fax number is 603-773-4415 and the mailing address is P. O. Box 1140, Exeter NH 03833-1140. 

Employees will have 24/7 online access to review account balances, contributions, transaction history, and claim status for both Health Care and Dependent Day Care accounts. This system will require you to set up a new log-in the first time you sign in. Click here for detailed instructions on how to set up your new online account.

Please contact EBPA (888-678-3457) with any FSA questions or concerns.
