Health Care Flexible Spending Account - UPMC Consumer Advantage Card 

When you or an eligible dependent incurs an eligible expense at a provider that accepts Visa, UPMC Consumer Advantage Card can be used to pay for the qualified expense from your account with pre-tax dollars.

The UPMC Consumer Advantage Card lets you electronically access the pretax contribution you set aside in your health care flexible spending account. In most cases, there are no claim forms to complete and file. Your current balance and other account information are available on the UPMC Consumer Advantage Portal.
