Complete last-minute Staying Well Program activities to maximize your awards
As the hectic holiday season approaches, remember that many Staying Well Program activities are due by December 31, some had earlier deadlines to count for 2024. Completing and submitting these activities by the deadline will not only help you maximize your award earnings but also equip you with tools to manage stress and maintain balance during this busy time. Be sure to redeem any rewards earned in 2024 as they don’t carry over to the new year.
Use your Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Limited Purpose FSA dollars and submit your claims
Remember, you can only carry over $640 from your 2024 balance of your Health Care FSA or Limited Purpose FSA for qualified health care expenses in 2025. Be sure to submit your 2024 claims to Inspira Financial by the March 31, 2025 deadline! See what you can spend in the last few months of the year, so you don’t lose out on your funds:
- For Limited Purpose FSA participants: You can use your balance for qualified dental and vision care expenses, including fillings, X-rays, braces, eyeglasses, contacts, and even LASIK surgery.
- For Health Care FSA participants: You can use your FSA dollars for qualified health care expenses such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for medical, pharmacy, dental, and vision care, so now is a great time to schedule any health appointments.
Don’t forget! In addition to care expenses, you can also use your Limited Purpose FSA or Health Care FSA funds on approved products, such as first aid supplies, over the counter medicines like aspirin or cold medicine, and even feminine hygiene products! Review the list of eligible expenses here.
