IMPORTANT BENEFIT ANNOUNCEMENTS 1
v NEW Third-Party Administrator (TPA) for Flexible Spending Plan Accounts
Effective July 1, 2011, the RCUH’s Flexible Spending TPA will change from Total Administrative Services Corporation (TASC) to National Benefit Services (NBS). As a participant, you will be receiving a “NBS Flexcard” debit card which can be used at various health care establishments like pharmacies, physician/dental offices, hospitals, optical providers, and mail order prescription programs that accept Visa. If you currently have a “TASC” debit card, it will be deactivated on June 30, 2011.
v NEW Dependent Age and Student Status Requirements
Effective July 1, 2011, dependents can be covered on your Health Plans until turning age 26, regardless of student-status (i.e., Your dependent does not need to be a full-time student to be covered on your Health Plans), due to the changes under the Health Care Reform Act.
v Benefits Open Enrollment Meetings
We will be having three (3) Open Enrollment benefits meetings this year. The meetings will be held on Oahu (University of Hawaii at Manoa campus) and broadcasted out to various sites on the outer islands. Representatives from our health/flexible spending vendors will be available to answer your questions, so we encourage all employees to take the time to learn your benefits options to ensure you are electing the best plan(s) to meet your needs.
