The answer is NO! If you were enrolled in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) for 2011, do not throw away your current debit card! You will use the same card again in 2012. If you do need to obtain additional cards, there will be a $5 fee for each additional card.
Also note that after December 31, 2011, when you use your HCSA debit card, it will withdraw from your 2012 HCSA. You may continue to use your 2011 funds through March 15, 2012, but you must pay for eligible items or services first and submit receipts for reimbursement, rather than using your debit card.
If you are a new 2012 HCSA enrollee, you should receive two HCSA debit cards in the mail in late December or early January. (Note: DCSA accounts do not have debit cards.) If you do not receive your HCSA debit cards, or if you need to obtain additional cards beyond the two provided, contact the plan administrator, Meritain Health, at 517-349-7010 or toll-free at 800-748-0003.
