includes topics such as cyber traps for educators, ethics, renewal
updates, graduate credits, initial licensure conversion and hiring new
graduates.
In an effort to "Go Green" and be environmentally responsible, effective June 1, 2015, Kabel Business Services will no longer be duplicating notification to employees concerning the need to substantiate certain debit card transactions. Employees should be receiving notification via email for the need of additional documentation for your transactions. If you are not currently signed up to receive email or text notifications concerning your account, go to www.myflexonline.com and update your email address and phone number.
The attached flyer describes the services and reimbursement options that Kabel has to offer.
If you have questions or concerns, contact the Flex Department at (515) 224-9400.
If you have a medical flex spending plan or an HRA, you may have just received a statement in the mail showing you have some money to spend before the end of the plan year (June 30) or you will lose it.
Although your HRA statement shows that you must also spend all of your HRA dollars, this is incorrect. If you are continuing employment with Heartland in a full time position for the 2015-16 plan year, up to $500 of your unused dollars in your medical flex spending will automatically roll over and up to $7000 of your unused HRA dollars will automatically roll over.
Below is a partial list of qualified expenses you can be reimbursed for under either the medical flex spending plan or the HRA.
- Birth Control Pills
- Contact Lenses
- Contact Len Solution
- Dentures
- Hearing Aid Batteries
- Insulin
- Lasik eye surgery
- Orthopedic Aids
- Pregnancy and Fertility Kits
- Medical or dental office visits
- Dental - costs of covered dental procedures, i.e. crowns, root canals, fillings, orthodontia, etc. (Cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening are NOT eligible expenses.)
- Medical - cost of covered medical procedures (Cosmetic procedures such as plastic surgery are NOT eligible expenses.)
- Eyeglasses or prescription sunglasses
- Prescription drugs
Claims can be submitted through your Kabel account online.
Questions you may have about qualified expenses or for which dependents you may submit claims should be directed to Kabel Business Services at (515) 224-9400 or (800) 300-9691.
Each week during the Iowa legislative session, we will bring you an AEA Legislative Update from the AEA system’s lobbyists, Tom Lane, Matt Eide and John Pederson.
