The MySource Card: in a Nutshell By Linda Meyerhoffer, CPA

Introduction The MySource Card is an integrated debit card will give you the option to receive payments out of your Medical Reimbursement Account and is tied to the available balance in your account.
14
You Will Still Have a Choice... For each expense, you can either: Use your debit card, OR Submit a reimbursement request after services are received and then you will be reimbursed.
15
Merchant Types The card allows employees to use the debit card at certain merchant types: Physicians Pharmacies Dentists Vision Care Offices Hospitals Supermarkets & Grocery Stores (see IIAS list) Discount Stores & Wholesale Clubs (see IIAS list) The Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) is a system set up to automatically identify eligible transactions and only charge those items at the register.
16
AutoPay Requirements If the debit meets these requirements, no documentation necessary: Pre-defined co-pay amounts, or Reoccurring expenses that have been previously reimbursed with the same amount, provider & time period, or If the IIAS is used

What if the Debit Does Not Equal AutoPay Requirements? Employee will need to submit a reimbursement request within 6 weeks with support just as they do now.
