Benefits Information for Part-time Hourly Staff

As a permanent part-time employee who passed probation, and are working a minimum of 16 hours a week, you will be provided with a Health Spending Account through the National HealthClaim Corporation for your health and dental coverage worth $375 per calendar year.

​

If you are eligible, you will receive an email from our HR Assistant or HR Intern, which confirms that your account is active. This benefit program is not insurance but a spending account that reimburses you for eligible expenses. This means you pay for the expenses first, and then submit receipts to the National HealthClaim Corporation, and they will process them on behalf of Mirvish.

What is a Health Spending Account (HSA)?

You have a spending account as a part of your benefit strategy. It can be used in combination with a traditional insurance plan or as a stand-alone benefit. In both cases, you have a set amount of yearly credits. These credits can be used to get reimbursed for certain eligible expenses.

Here is the process, which can also be found online under the National HealthClaim's Claim Submission Guide for Health Spending Accounts

 

  1. You pay for the expense.

  2. If you have insurance coverage, you must submit your expenses to all insurance providers, including other HSAs before using the NHC spending account. The NHC is the last payor. Any time there is insurance coverage involved they require the detailed Explanation of Benefits document (EOB, sometimes called a Claim Statement) from all insurance providers including other HSAs, for each expense you are claiming. If you don’t have other coverage for your expense(s), submit to NHC directly.

  3. Once NHC has processed your submission, expect reimbursement either by direct deposit (if you have set up online banking) or by cheque. 

What should your invoice include?

  • Who the expense is for.

  • The date of service

    • Note: this is not the same thing as the payment date. The NHC needs the actual date of treatment or when the items were purchased.

  • The type of service or treatment.

  • Provider name

    • Note: This can be the name of the company providing the item. For health receipts, the name of the Authorized Medical Practitioner (per CRA) who provided the service and their registration number.

  • Total cost with a confirmation of payment in full.
