How do I get a UPMC for Life Flex Spend Card?

To receive a Flex Spend Card, you must be enrolled in a UPMC for Life plan that includes the Flex Spend Card benefit. New members enrolled in an eligible plan will receive their Flex Spend Card in the mail before their plan effective date. Current members should keep their current card and continue to use it until it expires.

If you are on a plan that does not include the Flex Spend Card benefit but you earn preventive care rewards, you will be mailed a card preloaded with your reward dollars after you complete your first screening. Learn more about the preventive care reward program.

Does my allowance expire?

The Flex Spend Card allowances are yearly allowances. These allowances do not roll over from year to year. All unused allowance dollars will expire Dec. 31.

Where can I use my Flex Spend Card?

You can use your Flex Spend Card to buy eligible products and services at any provider that accepts MasterCard, at participating retail stores, at participating premier fitness locations, through our fitness kit vendor, and through our OTC mail-order catalog.

Can I use my Flex Spend Card for groceries?

The Flex Spend Card allowances cannot be used to buy groceries or healthy foods. If a member completes eligible preventive care, they will earn reward dollars that can be used to buy healthy foods at participating retailers. Learn more about the preventive care reward program.

How do I see my recent transactions?

Our digital tools are the easiest way to manage your Flex Spend Card. You can check your account balance, see your recent transactions, submit claims, and more. You can access these tools on both the UPMC Health Plan member site and the UPMC Health Plan app.

How do I know what OTC products are covered at retail stores?

You can use the Eligible Product Lookup tool in the UPMC Health Plan member site, or use the Barcode Scanner Tool in-store while you shop! The Barcode Scanner Tool is available in the UPMC Health Plan app. To use it, simply log in to the app, tap Scan Items on the Insurance tab, and then scan the product’s barcode to see if it’s covered.
