Eligible medical expenses are governed by Section 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. It may include the full list of items below or a subset, depending on how your employer structured your plan. Examples include:

What's eligible under your specific plan?

Plan Highlights provide a simplified overview of how your plan operates. They are a great resource for you to quickly learn about the requirements, limitations, and deadlines related to your plan. Find them in the Documents section of BRIWEB or request a copy from your employer. 

Have a Card? Here's how to use it

If you’ve enrolled in a carded plan, your Beniversal® or eTrac® Prepaid Mastercard will arrive in a plain white envelope toward the start of your plan year. Sign and activate your card to start using it, and take advantage of some of the exclusive features available to you.

Beniversal Card

Adding your Beniversal Card to Apple Pay®, Google Pay®, or Samsung Pay® offers you a convenient and efficient way to pay for pre-tax healthcare and commuter benefit expenses at contactless registers and payment turnstiles (i.e., MTA’s OMNY terminals). This seamless integration enables quick and secure transactions, ensuring that eligible expenses are paid directly from your pre-tax benefit accounts.

Follow the appropriate process below to add a new card.

Note: In order to complete registration, the mobile phone number associated with your digital wallet must be on file with BRI. Check your Profile on BRIWEB to make sure that it is.

This FREE service, available to all Beniversal Cardholders, scours the Internet for credentials and provides end-to-end, white-glove resolution services to restore consumer identities. This protection isn’t limited to just your Beniversal card; you can protect personal credit or debit cards, health/vision/dental ID numbers, your social security number, driver’s license, passport, bank account numbers, email addresses, and more!

To get started, click the link below and enter the first 6 digits of your Beniversal Card. Then, just determine what information, cards, and accounts you want to be monitored.

Step 4: Submit Claims & Receipts

Get reimbursed in as little as 5 days. If you have paid out of pocket by not using your Beniversal card or you are submitting for dependent care expenses, you can submit a claim in under 5 minutes, and you can do it all from your phone or laptop. Learn more by clicking the buttons below.

View the status of your claims through BRIMOBILE or BRIWEB. Track your purchases and see the status of recently submitted claims so you know what’s happening each step of the way.

Always Keep Your Receipts

If you receive a receipt request from BRI, you can respond to it using one of three methods:

  1. BRIWEB (upload receipt(s), submit a substitute claim, or repay the expense)
  2. BRIMOBILE (respond to the alert provided by the app or submit a receipt proactively)
  3. BY MAIL (complete the included Substitute Claim Form and mail it to the address provided)

Supporting documents you submit must include: the provider name, type of service, date of service, and cost of service.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FAIL TO SUBSTANTIATE?

You will be sent up to 4 notices by BRI (via mail and/or email based on your notification preference) detailing the transaction that requires additional documentation. If you fail to respond after the final notice, your card will be suspended. Additionally, the expense will be considered an overpayment by the IRS, which will be included as taxable income on your next W-2 at the close of the plan year.
