Q:
What is the benefit to using the take care® card?
A: Participants who opt to use a take care card will not have to pay for their qualified services out of their personal funds and then wait for reimbursement. When using the take care card for co- pays at a doctor's office or pharmacy, no additional paperwork is required.
Q: How does my plan work with the take care card option?
A: Each company sets up their plan differently. To learn more about how your FSA and/or HRA plan works with your take care card, you may contact your employer’s Benefits/HR Department to obtain your plan’s policy and procedures.
A: Yes. The take care card meets all IRS provisions. The take care card can only be used by the participant or their dependent(s)/spouse at certain locations to pay for qualified expenses from their FSA and/or HRA account.

A: There are several reasons a take care card may be declined.
First of all, please make sure you ask the retailer to swipe your card as a credit. Even though it is a debit card, a transaction will not be approved if swiped as a debit.
If you wish to have a PIN number assigned to your take care card so you may swipe as a debit, you may call customer care at 866.679.7649. This is the responsibility of the participant. CPN cannot see PIN numbers or have them reset.
Have you checked your available balance? If you swipe your card for an amount larger than you have available, it will deny the whole transaction.
You may have a Balance Due on your account you need to address. (see next question)

Q: Why is my take care card being
declined?
A: There are several reasons a take care card may be declined.
First of all, please make sure you ask the retailer to swipe your card as a credit. Even though it is a debit card, a transaction will not be approved if swiped as a debit.

You may have a Balance Due on your account you need to address. (see next question)
Although the convenience of having the take care
card is to avoid upfront cost, some charges will require follow up
documents such as an EOB or itemized statement per the IRS. This is
described more in your policy and procedures you can obtain from your
Benefits/HR Department. You can view your charges requiring an
EOB/itemized statement 24/7 located on your MyFlexOnline account.
Q: What happens if I use my take care card for a non-qualified expense or over pay according to my EOB?
A: When a participant submits their EOB (along with a debit card substantiation claim form) to verify their charge, if all or a portion is non-qualified or over paid, the participant will be notified by customer service asking they repay the amount. This is called a Balance Due. Balance Dues may be repaid on their MyFlexOnline account. Other methods of paying back are to send a personal check, made payable to CPN, or to submit itemized receipts for out-of-pocket qualified expenses to be reimbursed and payment will be less the “Balance Due” owed.
If the Balance Due is not repaid in a timely manner, the participant’s card may be suspended until the amount they owe is repaid. Each employer may at any time access the Balance Due information for their participants and address with their employees if necessary.
Q: What if I did not use my take care card and paid out of pocket for qualified expenses?
A: No problem! You may complete the appropriate reimbursement claim form for the plan you wish to be reimbursed and send along with your EOB or itemized statement. Once received, CPN will process your request and payment will be sent to you via Direct Deposit or check. (Checks are mailed to the participant’s home address on file with CPN).
Q: Why are uploads I send from MyFlexOnline coming through as blank pages?
A: Uploads are sent using a Portable Document Format (PDF). To avoid your documents coming through as blank pages, check and see if you have the latest version of Acrobat Adobe or Acrobat Capture. If the PDF document is sent using an older version, this could cause your images to come through as blank pages.

If you upload an EOB from your medical insurance company’s website, the
information will come over blank as the insurance company blocks PHI
(personal health information) due to HIPAA laws. You must print the EOB,
make a copy using a copy machine, scan to your PC, and then upload.
This will ensure the information does not come over blank.
