Health Care Pre-Tax Expense Account

Automatic Reimbursement for Prescription Drugs

If you’re enrolled in Penn’s Health Care Pre-Tax Expense Account and have coverage through Penn’s CVS Caremark prescription drug plan, your expenses are automatically paid from your Health Care Pre-Tax Expense Account. You don’t have to file a claim for your eligible prescription expenses.

It’s as easy as it sounds: you don’t need to send in any claim forms at all. When your prescription drug expenses are processed by Caremark, they send your claims information directly to ADP, Penn’s Pre-Tax Expense Account administrator. ADP then automatically reimburses you from your Health Care Pre-Tax Expense Account balance. The result? You receive your reimbursement check more quickly and easily! But keep in mind that you still need to save your receipts in case the IRS requires substantiation of an expense.

You can make the process even more convenient by signing up to have your reimbursements directly deposited into your bank account. You won’t have to cash or deposit each reimbursement you receive and your check won’t be delayed, destroyed, or lost in the mail.

If you’d prefer to opt out of the automatic reimbursement process, just call the Penn Benefits Center at 1-888-PENNBEN (1-888-736-6236).

Remember that if you opt out of the automatic reimbursement process or if you’re not covered by Penn’s CVS Caremark prescription plan, you’re still required to file claims for any eligible prescription drug expenses manually. And claims for all other eligible Health Care Pre-Tax Expense Account expenses must be filed manually—this automatic feature only applies to eligible CVS Caremark prescription drug expenses.
