FSA Healthcare Checklist (post-Open Enrollment):

  • VIEW Benefits Spotlight – Flexible Spending Accounts: Healthcare & Dependent Care. It has instructions on how to create your account in the National Benefit Services (NBS) Portal or mobile app. It may also answer some of your questions.
  • CREATE an online account in the NBS Portal.
  • CHECK that you received your NBS FSA Debit MasterCard. It will be mailed to your mailing address (on file in Employee Self-Service) in a plain, white envelope from National Benefit Services (NBS). If you did not receive the envelope, please contact us.
    • If you were previously enrolled in the FSA Healthcare, please check your current NBS FSA Debit MasterCard’s expiration date. If unexpired, you will not receive a new card and may use your current card.
  • REVIEW your election amount. You may do this either in your Open Enrollment email confirmation or Benefits Summary in Employee Self-Service. Deductions will occur per pay period. However, the full annual election amount will be pre-loaded and available on your NBS Debit MasterCard as of July 1, 2024.

The RCUH Open Enrollment Webpage is now live!

This year’s annual benefit OE period will be April 24, 2024 – May 17, 2024. The RCUH annual benefit Open Enrollment (OE) period is your opportunity to elect, waive, or change certain benefit elections for the upcoming plan year – July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.

Applicable documents (summary of benefits, rate sheets, comparison document), updates, and virtual OE office hours information will be posted on the RCUH Open Enrollment Webpage on April 24, 2024. The RCUH Open Enrollment Webpage will be updated with additional information as we approach the election period, so stay tuned!

Unlike previous years, we are requiring all benefits-eligible employees to complete the new electronic RCUH Open Enrollment form to confirm their elections for the new plan year. Starting Wednesday, April 24th, all benefits-eligible employees will see the new electronic RCUH OE form on their RCUH Employee Self-Service. The electronic RCUH OE form will allow employees to initiate and save their elections/changes and submit when they are ready through the deadline of Friday, May 17, 2024. Employees may recall their submissions and resubmit up until the deadline on May 17th. Elections/Changes will be effective July 1, 2024.
