Flexible Benefits. Eligible employees shall have the option to participate in a flexible benefit program (as allowed and prescribed by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and applicable IRC sections and regulations) which permits the pre-taxing of insurance premiums, reimbursement of eligible dependent care costs, and unreimbursed health care expenses with pre-tax dollars.

Flexible Benefits. 54.1: Xxxxxxxxxx County offers a flexible benefit program for unit employees. This program allows each employee to choose those benefits that best meet their individual needs. The program year for the plan is from January 1st to December 31st and is renewed on an annual basis. The County wishes to eliminate the PPO 1 benefit for lack of participation. As such, the parties agree that in the fall of 2017 during open enrollment for the 2018 plan year, the employees will have their last opportunity to enter the PPO 1 plan. If an employee elects to sign up for the PPO 1 plan, they may do so. If they opt out of the PPO 1 plan, they may not enter the plan at a future date and time. Those remaining in the plan shall remain so long as the plan is offered by the insurance carrier and until such time as the employee chooses to opt out of PPO 1 in favor of another option offered by the insurance carrier.
Flexible Benefits. Additional services for coverage beyond Covered Services, which may be actual health care services or benefits that HHSC and CMS determine will promote healthy lifestyles and improve health outcomes among Enrollees. These benefits may include weight loss, smoking cessation, or other programs approved by HHSC and CMS. Temporary phones, cell phones, additional transportation benefits, and extra home health services may be Flexible Benefits, if approved by HHSC and CMS. Neither best practice approaches to delivering Covered Services nor rewards and incentives defined at 42 C.F.R.§422.134 are considered Flexible Benefits. Flexible Benefits provided by an MMP are for purposes of attracting or keeping Enrollees, or to promote health in a manner that may save other health-related expenses, or for other purposes as may be determined by the STAR+PLUS MMP. Any services or benefits that are approved as Flexible Benefits are deemed to be Allowable Costs under this Contract.
Flexible Benefits. Individuals are able to designate an amount of pre-tax compensation to a flexible spending account. The amount, which will be limited by IRS guidelines, may be used for IRS approved dependent care expenses and non-reimbursed medical, dental and vision care expenses.

Flexible Benefits. Benefits the Contractor may choose to offer outside of the required Covered Services.
