Health Care Reimbursement Account expenses.
 In 2008, Duke is introducing a new
Health Care Card, administered through WageWorks®,
that will pay for many eligible health care expenses at the point of sale using funds from
an employee's health care reimbursement account. That means less hassle and less paperwork.
Certain over-the-counter drugs and medicines
may be reimbursable under your Health Care Reimbursement Account. Read more...
Duke will make a contribution to Duke Basic plan participants' Health Care Reimbursement Accounts
based on the level of coverage selected:
- $200 for Individual
- $300 for Employee/Child
- $400 for Employee/Children
- $400 for Employee/Spouse or Employee/Same-Sex Partner
- $600 for Family (includes Spouse)
Please Note: Additional contributions will not be made if dependents are added during
the plan year.
Health Care Reimbursement Account
By setting aside pre-tax money from your pay into the Health Care Reimbursement Account,
you may later repay yourself for eligible expenses incurred in calendar year 2008 that are not covered by insurance.
Because your contributions are deducted from your pay before federal income,
state income, and Social Security taxes have been withheld, you save on taxes.
Please note: Insurance premiums are not eligible expenses under a reimbursement account plan.
Maximum Contribution
The maximum contribution you can make to your Health Care Reimbursement Account
is $4,000. Your contributions will be deducted pre-tax from your pay. However,
if you enroll in the Duke Basic health plan, the contribution made by Duke (and
designed to help you meet the cost sharing features of this plan), is not
included in this limit.
Please remember:
Estimate your expenses carefully when deciding how much you want to contribute for 2008. You may submit your eligible claims for services received during the plan year (Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2008) until April 15, 2009. Any money left in your account after April 15, 2009, will be forfeited, according to federal tax law. For help in estimating your expenses, refer to the
Health
Care Reimbursement Account Worksheet.
Please see Making Changes During the Year for information on mid-year status changes and how they may affect your eligibility to participate in the plans and receive reimbursement for expenses.
