What is the annual flex benefit used for among members of select plans?

The annual flex benefit is primarily designed to help members of select plans cover copays for dental, vision, or hearing services. This benefit adds flexibility to how members manage their healthcare expenses, allowing them to allocate funds toward necessary services that often require out-of-pocket payments, such as copays for specialist visits or routine checkups in these areas.

Utilizing flex benefits in this way addresses a critical financial aspect of healthcare, as dental, vision, and hearing care can sometimes lead to significant costs that members need to account for each year. By supporting these services, the annual flex benefit promotes comprehensive wellness among members, ensuring they have the resources needed to maintain their overall health and address specific needs related to dental, vision, and hearing care.
