A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a benefit that allows you to use pre-tax money to pay for eligible health or dependent care expenses for you, your spouse, or your eligible dependents.
Through the Health Care FSA, you can claim eligible expenses for yourself and any dependents you report on your income taxes, including college age dependents.
Through the Dependent Care FSA, you can claim eligible daycare and before/after school care expenses for a qualifying dependent. The IRS defines a qualifying dependent as:
Each year, the IRS sets maximum contribution limits for FSAs.
For 2024, the maximum contribution limits are:
Nyhart is your Health Savings Account (HSA) administrator. HealthcareBank was Nyhart’s partnered custodian on the HSA. On April 1, 2021 HealthcareBank assigned custody of the HSA for which it served as custodian to WEX, a global, public technology company that is an IRS-approved custodian of HSAs, and Nyhart’s software partner. Nyhart, WEX and HealthcareBank have been close partners for over 10 years. You will need to view and agree to the new Custodial Agreement and Disclosure Statement through the portal or mobile app once you login. Nothing changes with respect to the consumer experience associated with the impacted HSAs.
Your HSA will continue to be serviced by Nyhart, and you can access it using the same web portal and mobile app. Your investment options, interest rates will remain the same, and all deposits currently eligible for FDIC insurance will continue to be eligible. For more information please see the New HSA Custodian FAQ document in the Educational Resources area of this page.
You will have access to your entire Health Care FSA election on the first day of your period of coverage. Deductions for the plan will be evenly divided amongst your payrolls for the year.
However, the Dependent Care FSA is a pay-to-balance account. Therefore, you cannot be reimbursed until the funds have been contributed through your payroll deductions. If a claim is submitted for more than the available balance, the claim will remain in a pending status and funds will be released as they become available; until the entire claim or your annual election has been reimbursed. Prepayments are not eligible for reimbursement until the care has been provided.
Your election in the FSA is irrevocable. You cannot make a change in your election after your period of coverage begins. If you experience a qualifying Change in Status event, you may be permitted to change the election in your Health Care FSA or Dependent Care FSA. You will need to contact your HR department to process your Change in Status event. Your requested change must correspond to the event, and you must request the change within 30 days.
Qualifying Change in Status events that apply to Health Care FSAs and Dependent Care FSAs may include:
Qualifying Change in Status events that apply to Dependent Care FSAs may include:
Due to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Nyhart is requiring participants to have an Authorization to Disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) Form on file if a participant would like PHI disclosed to an individual other than the account holder. By signing this form, you are authorizing the disclosure of your PHI in connection with this plan. Nyhart will be unable to disclose any information to individuals except the account holder without a signed form on file.
The Authorization to Disclose PHI Form is available on our website my.nyhart.com under Forms & Resources. You can also request a form through support@nyhart.com or our customer service line at (800) 284-8412.
Nyhart provides a list of eligible expenses for reference on our website at my.nyhart.com. The Expense Eligibility Table is available in the left column, after you log in. The table will give you detailed descriptions of eligible expenses. If you are still unsure after reviewing the table, you may pre-qualify expenses by submitting documentation to support@nyhart.com or by calling (800) 284-8412.
Insurance premiums are not eligible for reimbursement through the FSA.
Prepayments are not eligible for reimbursement. You are eligible to be reimbursed once the service or care has rendered. Documentation submitted for prepayment will be entered as a claim and put on hold until service or care has rendered. Once the service or care has rendered, reimbursement will occur.
The dependent care fees you pay to your relatives may be eligible for reimbursement through the Dependent Care FSA. The child care provider must have a Tax ID number or a valid Social Security number, and they must claim the fees as income on their taxes.
Child care provided by a parent or another dependent of the household will not be eligible for reimbursement per IRS guidelines.
Over-the counter (OTC) medicines and menstrual products purchased after January 1, 2020 are eligible for reimbursement from the FSA without a prescription.
According to IRS Guidelines, all claims submitted through Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) must be substantiated to verify the eligibility of the expenses. All expenses must be substantiated by independent third-party providers. The third-party information must describe the following:
If the expense was submitted to your insurance for payment, you will need to submit an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to establish the amount that was not paid by the insurance plan. If the expense was not submitted to your insurance, you will need to submit itemized bills from the provider. If the expense was a prescription, submit the tag from the RX bag or a pharmacy summary. Please be aware that cancelled checks alone are not sufficient documentation to verify an expense. Keep the original receipts for your records and send copies to Nyhart.
For most medical expenses, proof of a payment is not required. For orthodontia expenses; however, you must include documentation to indicate when payment was made along with the above information.
If over-the-counter (OTC) products were purchased, you will need to submit a copy of the receipt clearly indicating the name of the OTC products purchased.
In addition to the above requirements, Dependent Care FSA claims require additional information including:
Due to HIPAA regulations, providers should only speak to the account holder. Nyhart does not contact your provider for any information on your account. The provider or your insurance carrier should provide you with documentation that can be used to substantiate your expenses. If an itemized statement is needed, it is your responsibility to contact the provider to request it.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) allows you to pay for qualified dental, medical, and vision expenses as well as save for future qualified expenses on a tax-free basis. An HSA is similar to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) established for the benefit of you, owned by you, and is portable. If you change employers, the HSA stays with you.
Any unused money in your HSA at the end of the year rolls to the next year. You may also choose to invest your HSA money. Any interest or dividends generated by investments are added to your HSA account tax-free.
You are eligible for an HSA if you:
You or your spouse may have a Limited-Use FSA or HRA in combination with your HSA. A Limited-Use FSA/HRA is limited to dental and vision expenses only.
No. HSAs are individual accounts that are opened in one person’s name. While your HSA will cover expenses for the family, the account itself remains in your name.
Monthly HSA statements are available through our website, my.nyhart.com. We recommend that you review them periodically. You may also sign up for paper statements to be mailed to your home for $1.50/month.
During your employer’s open enrollment, you may enroll in an HSA by filling out the enrollment forms and returning them to your HR.
Yes, but your contributions may not exceed the maximum contribution amount between all your HSAs.
You may check your HSA balance at any time by logging in to my.nyhart.com. After you log in, click Your Balances on the left side. Your HSA balance will be listed in the left column with your HSA investment balance listed below it.
The amount listed in your HSA balance is the amount available on your debit card. Any amount shown in your investment balance is accessible to you by creating a distribution through our website.
Your account activity is available in real-time by accessing our website at my.nyhart.com. After you log in, you will click Your Balances on the left side, and then click Accounts in the top menu bar. Next, click Account Activity to view all contributions and distributions processed on your HSA.
You may export your account activity to an Excel spreadsheet by clicking the Export button.
No. You do not need to submit documentation to create distributions or use your debit card on your HSA. We recommend that you keep HSA documentation in a folder near your tax documents.

Your HSA tax documents are available on our website at my.nyhart.com. Once logged in, click on Your Balances, and then hover on Accounts in the top menu bar.

If your employment ends with your current employer, your HSA will remain active and will convert to a Nyhart Individual HSA. We will send you notification via the mail that explains the changes that will occur to your account and the move date.
As of the move date, your current debit card will stop working. You will also experience a blackout period of 2 to 4 business days where you will not be able to create contributions or distributions on your HSA.
New cards will be issued and will arrive within 10 to 14 business days of your HSA conversion. All features that you are accustomed to are offered on our Nyhart Individual HSAs. A monthly administration will be applied directly to your account. (Previously, this was paid by your employer.)
If you have a beneficiary on your HSA, your beneficiary will be able to submit an HSA Death Distribution Form and request the HSA be sent to the estate, or converted to an HSA in the surviving spouse’s name.
If no beneficiary is listed on your HSA, the state of Indiana requires the HSA distribution to be made to the estate of the deceased. Extra documentation may be requested to process a death distribution to an estate.
You may add or update your beneficiaries at any time through our website, my.nyhart.com. Once logged in, click on Your Balances, and then click on Profile in the top menu bar.
