Monthly Claims are specifically used for reimbursement of Monthly Recurring Insurance Premiums. When you create a Monthly Claim, we will process your monthly reimbursement request to ensure funds are deposited in your bank account on the 5th of each month. You may include Insurance Premiums for Health, Dental, Vision, Medicare, etc. in your Monthly Claim. You can request reimbursement of the full premium amounts, or strategically choose a lesser amount to leave more funds in your RHA Account growing tax free for future use. Please note you are allowed only one Monthly Claim. If you create a new Monthly Claim, it will replace your existing one.

Misc Claims are used for everything else. You can create a claim for a single item, or wait and list up to 10 items on each claim. Remember, proof of payment must be provided for each listed item. Create a claim with your computer and attach any saved receipts from your files. Or use your Phone or Tablet to create a claim and use the camera to snap images of your receipts.

5. Please provide supporting documentation to substantiate your claim. Examples include Explanation of Benefits, hospital or doctor bills and premium notifications. You must also provide proof of payment for these expenses. Examples include receipts, credit card statements and cancelled checks. Cash register receipts and canceled checks alone do not qualify as proof.

6. Eligible claims cover payments made on a post-tax basis only.
7. Claims must be submitted within 90 days after the end of the plan year in which the expense was incurred. Thus the last date to submit an expense is March 31^st for prior calendar year expenses.
