Supplemental HRA – NCF Members Sandbox

HEALTH DEPARTMENT

HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT (HRA)

Helps cover your out-of-pocket medical / dental expenses.

It is an employer paid percentage of wages based on hours worked.

These contributions can be accessed by the Participant as a tax-free reimbursement that can be used to cover any gaps in your health coverage, including premium and co-pay costs.

How to Access Your HRA Funds and Submit Claims for Reimbursement

HRA MasterCard

The HRA Payment Card is a faster, easier way to access your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) contributions. If you are an HRA-eligible Participant, you will receive two (2) HRA Payment Cards at your home address for your and your family to use.

Your cards are credited with the HRA contributions paid to the Fund office on your behalf. They can be used, instead of cash, to pay for qualified health care expenses such as:

Prescriptions
Coinsurance
Copayments
"amount due" on medical statements

HRA FAQs

Both cards have my name on it. Can my spouse use this card?

Can I get extra cards for my dependents over 18?

Are cards mailed to all members?

Cards are mailed out to all eligible members, Active or Retired, if their HRA balance is greater than the activation amount of $2,000.00. The cards are mailed directly from the card vendor located in Indiana. They are in an envelope with the NCF Edison return address. If you do not receive your cards please call the Fund Office to verify your mailing address and/or to check your eligibility.

Do I still have to fill out an HRA claim form and submit an itemized bill, proof of payment and an EOB when applicable for each claim?

Yes. All the same HRA rules still apply and you must upload all the requested documents in order for your claim to be paid promptly. This is an IRS regulated benefit. You are required to save all of your original receipts in the event the Fund Office needs to verify the submitted expenses are valid and in compliance with the IRS rules. Please note each claim form has a Fraud Warning directly above the Member Signature line.
