*Effective July 1, 2022, Health Incentive Reward Dollars may be used for eligible over-the-counter expenses (eligible expenses match health care FSA funds). These usable reward dollars can include those earned during plan year 2023 - 2024 or funds rolled over from the previous plan year.
Panther Gold and Panther PPO Participants
Health Incentive Reward Dollars for Panther Gold and Panther PPO are placed onto a UPMC Consumer Advantage Visa debit card that can be used to cover the cost of certain medical and prescription expenses. Reward dollars are earned and credited to your debit card throughout the plan year as you complete each tier level. For more information about the types of expenses you can use your Reward Dollars for, please visit upmchealthplan.com/pitt.
If you enroll in a Panther Gold or Panther PPO health plan, you will receive a debit card with a zero-dollar beginning balance. Your earned Reward Dollars will then be applied to the card for your use after you've completed each tier.
If you are also enrolled in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program, you will not receive an additional debit card. Any Reward Dollars earned will be credited to the same debit card. FSA funds are automatically used before any Reward Dollars that are earned.
Panther Basic Participants
Panther Basic Participants will have their reward dollars applied to their September paycheck following the completion of the plan year.
