Conduent Redesigns BenefitWallet® App to Support COVID-19 Related Government Changes to Health Accounts
Company also introduces COVID-19 microsite as a resource to help members decipher legislation that impacts HSA, FSA and HRA accounts
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT) today announced the launch of its newly designed BenefitWallet® mobile app which provides a more seamless and streamlined experience for BenefitWallet’s approximately one million members. The enhanced app comes at a time when rules around Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) accounts are impacted by COVID-19 related IRS and legislative changes.
Available for Apple and Android devices, the BenefitWallet app gives members easy access to HSA, FSA and HRA balances, the ability to pay providers or reimburse themselves for eligible health care expenses, and more. For example, FSA members can use their mobile phone to take a picture of a receipt for an eligible over-the-counter (OTC) medical product and quickly submit it for reimbursement. In fact, OTC medical products purchased without prescriptions as early as January 1, 2020, can now be submitted for reimbursement as a result of changes through the CARES Act.
“With a new look and a more intuitive interface, the redesigned BenefitWallet app allows members to easily take advantage of government changes for HSA, FSA and HRA accounts,” said Todd Berkley, Vice President and Portfolio Leader, BenefitWallet, at Conduent. “It’s now even easier for members to access their health dollars when they need it during employment and in retirement.”
COVID-19 microsite
Conduent has also launched a COVID-19 microsite to help members stay informed about changes impacting their BenefitWallet health accounts. Available at , the one-stop microsite provides quick and easy access to information such as legislative changes related to the COVID-19 health crisis, how-to-guides for common transactions on the BenefitWallet member portal and mobile app, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
“We encourage BenefitWallet members to take advantage of our resources designed to empower them with information and insights to make the decision that suits their needs,” added Berkley. “BenefitWallet is available to help members pay for any eligible health care expenses incurred.”
BenefitWallet offers a personalized and simplified approach to help members manage their health care costs and accumulate wealth with tax-advantaged health accounts. BenefitWallet integrates the member experience across the continuum of health care engagement, funding, saving and payment. BenefitWallet is one of the nation’s top health account administrators, managing nearly $2.7 billion in assets in approximately one million active HSA accounts for employer customers of all sizes.
