UnitedHealthcare has begun mailing a welcome kit to those rail members covered under the national railroad health & welfare plans who have enrolled in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA), to become effective Jan. 1, 2013. 

The mailing includes a claim form, information as to how you can manage your account online and also reminds those individuals to complete and return the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) form enclosed in the kit. 

This welcome kit is only being mailed to those eligible railroad employees who have already enrolled in the FSA. 

Railroad employees who have elected to participate in the FSA Plan will receive a Summary Plan Description (SPD) booklet early next year. 

If you would like additional information about this new benefit program, please contact UnitedHealthcare at (800) 842-9905.
