The quickest and easiest way to resolve issues is to contact the benefit administrator directly. If you still have questions or issues, please get in touch with the Benefits Team.
Claims from the HealthyMe Employee Clinic should be resolved with PEHP or SelectHealth. The clinic staff only has access to certain types of information. They don't know if you've met your deductible, what the discount codes may be, or if a procedure or prescription is covered or requires pre-authorization.
Your Health Savings Account (HSA) is a self-managed account. It's your responsibility to confirm eligibility, submit appropriate documentation, and monitor your balance and contributions. Fines and Penalties can be applied for misusing this account, so please review the IRS guidelines for a comprehensive understanding.
Fidelity is Salt Lake County's HSA administrator, however if you've had an HSA before being employed here, you may have an existing account with another administrator.
You can make changes to your HSA deduction any time by contacting the Benefits Team. Please include your EIN and the amount you'd like deducted in your email.
Salt Lake County is committed to your privacy, and will not disclose information about your benefits or paycheck to anyone but you. If your spouse contacts us to discuss coverage or your HSA, we're unable to respond without your permission.
Please log into PeopleSoft > Employee Self Service > Personal Details > Addresses > Select Your Current Address and then update the fields to make your change
Flex Spending programs are regulated by the IRS, and the plan is administered according to IRS regulations in section 125 of the tax code. Your FSA Benefits card provides access to your funds, and does not mean your claim was qualified or has been processed. In many cases, you will be asked to provide proof of your expense to ASI Flex.
Here are a few pointers to make using the card easier:
This is the easiest and most secure way to submit claims, monitor your balance, and receive notifications from ASI.
Attach appropriate documentation of your expenses
IRS guidelines require specific documentation to substantiate each claim submission. This includes:
Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance plan. This document is sent to you after the plan processes your claim and shows the amount paid by the plan and the amount for which you are responsible; or,
Itemized statement from your health care provider. This must show specific information:
For prescriptions:
For over-the-counter health care products, drugs and medicines:
For dependent care expenses:
For orthodontia:
Please do not submit credit card receipts, paid on account or balance forward statements, or cancelled checks.
Fax or mail completed claim form with documentation.
You can find EOB's by logging into your account through
You can upload through your online portal, fax, email or mail a copy of your EOB or itemized bill. You have up to 42 days to provide documentation, but after that your card may be suspended until documentation is received. Visit ASIFLEX for details.
You have 30 days to submit receipts for charges prior to your termination date and don't have access to your funds unless you elect COBRA coverage. If your receipt isn't received within 30 days, funds are ineligible for reimbursement.

You have until March 31 to submit proof of claims requiring substantiation. Unsubstantiated claims incurred with outstanding proof of purchase must be paid post-tax. Please contact ASI Flex with questions.

County orthodontia benefits are "lifetime" benefits, so your maximum with Cigna will be deducted from what prior county providers have paid on your behalf.
Orthodontia coverage it is not a guarantee of payment. The total case fee is divided by 4. The first quarter is the down payment and the remaining 75% is divided by the months in treatment. That monthly payment is made automatically quarterly until the months in treatment have been met, the braces are removed or the lifetime maximum has been reached, whichever comes first.
Make sure you research options and use a Cigna Advantage Network provider for the best discount. Most providers will bill any insurance company, but haven't agreed to accept Cigna's payment as payment in full. Log into your Cigna account or contact customer service for more information.
You or your orthodontist should provide a copy of your treatment plan to Cigna Dental to get appropriate credits and payments.
Claim Address: Cigna Dental DPPO PO Box 188037 Chattanooga TN 37455
Salt Lake County's Cigna dental plan group number is 3341161
You will not get a dental card, but can verify coverage by calling 800-244-6224.
Your benefit is determined by which kind of provider you see. If you see a Cigna Advantage provider, you'll get the most benefit and pay the lowest cost. County pays more of the cost because Advantage providers have agreed to write off more of the bill.
If you see any other Cigna provider, you pay more of the bill and have a lower annual maximum benefit.
If you go to a provider that either doesn't contract with Cigna or doesn't take any insurance, you have a reduced benefit and a lower annual maximum benefit. The big cost you incur by going to a dentist that doesn't accept Cigna is "balance billing". Balance billing is where you pay the balance left on the bill after the county plan pays what it does for a contracted dentist. When you're looking for a provider, as if they are contracted with Cigna, not if they will accept payments from Cigna.
If you have a name change, contact the HR Data Entry team (385-468-0570) with a copy of your divorce or marriage certificate and your new Social Security card.
Once the change has been made in PeopleSoft, benefits vendors will get your updated information.
