The UPMC for Life Flex Spend Card gives members additional dollars to help them stay healthy and independent. Members can use their Flex Spend Card when they need to for things like, doctor’s office copays, fitness, over-the-counter products, and dental, vision, and hearing services. After buying your eyeglasses, you will have exhausted your vision allowance and have a remaining balance of $250 on your Flex Spend Card to use for other dental, vision, and hearing services.

Understanding the Context

If you have an available balance but have to pay out-of-pocket for covered OTC products because your Flex Spend Card declined or did not work properly at point of purchase, you can submit a claim for reimbursement. Managing your UPMC for Life Flex Spend Card or UPMC for Life Complete Care (HMO SNP) Shop Healthy Card is now easier than ever!
