Tax-Advantaged Accounts
Discover the tax-advantaged accounts that can help you save money and pay for qualified health expenses with pre-tax money.
Your eligibility to participate in these accounts will depend on the medical plan in which you choose to enroll. Review eligibility information below. When you enroll, you can set monthly contributions to your accounts, up to the IRS annual limit. You will receive a debit card that is linked to the account funds. Simply use the card to pay for qualified health expenses. All accounts are administered by Benefit Resource Inc. (BRI).
General
Health Care FSA
This account is available to those enrolled in the Cigna Base or Buy Up PPO or Kaiser plans and those who waived medical coverage. You may use funds to pay for qualified health expenses that are not covered by your health plan such as copays, prescription drug costs, etc.. A limited amount of unused funds can be carried over to the 2025 plan year.
Dependent Care FSA
This account is available to all employees. You may use funds to pay for qualified child and elder care expenses. (Note that you should contribute to a Health Care FSA for health expenses for eligible dependents. Funds are use-it-or-lose-it; they cannot be rolled over from year to year.)
Your account with Benefit Resource
If you participate in an HSA, Health Care or Limited FSA...
Once your account has been created, look for your welcome kit and debit card. Your welcome kit will include important information about accessing your account. When logging on to BRI for the first time, you will be required to register a Custom Login ID. Select the blue “Register an Account” link, then follow the instructions provided. You will need the following pieces of information to register:
-
Enter the Company code: flyrlabs
-
Enter your personal information (first name, last name, date of birth, home zip code)
If you participate in the Dependent Care FSA...
Participants do not receive a debit card, you will need to pay out-of-pocket, then log into the BRI portal to submit the reimbursement. Follow the instructions above to create an account with BRI.
Health Savings Account
If you enroll in the Cigna HSA, Benefit Resource will set up your HSA with their bank partner, UMB. Once your account has been created, look for your welcome kit and debit card from UMB. At the time of enrollment, you will select your HSA contribution for the year. You can change your HSA contribution amount at any time during the year online through Benefit Resource.
If you have an HSA with a previous employer, you may roll over your balance into your FLYR HSA account. If you do not, you may be responsible for an administrator fee with your previous HSA administrator to keep that account open. Follow the instructions on the HSA transfer form.

FLYR routinely performs non-discrimination testing per IRS compliance regulations. Note that FLYR may contact you if adjustments are required to your dependent care FSA contributions.
