MOBILE WALLET
Add your Alerus Health Benefits Card to Apple Pay® and
Samsung Pay™ and use your mobile wallet on your favorite
device (smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch) to make purchases
digitally, quickly, and securely.
When buying from a participating merchant, open your mobile
wallet and choose the card you want to use. Then:
■For in-store purchases, hold your device up to the terminal.
■For in-app purchases, follow the merchant’s instructions
Neither Apple nor Samsung store your card number on your
device or their servers. When you set up a card, a digital token is
created and used to authorize payments. Your card numbers are
not shared with the merchants; instead, a one-time authorization
code is used, and the code changes with every transaction.

SUBMIT RECEIPTS
If you have a Dependent Care, Health/Limited Purpose FSA, or
a Parking/Transit benefit, IRS rules require all Alerus Health
Benefits Card transactions be substantiated. In some cases,
this will occur electronically and you will not need to submit
any documentation for your purchase. However, you will
sometimes be required to send in documentation for an
Alerus Health Benefits Card swipe after it occurs, in order to
meet IRS requirements.
Transactions that recur in the same amount at the same
merchant will only require documentation the first time in
a given plan year. If the card swipe is for your Health Savings
Account (HSA) simply save your receipts for your tax records.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
(NOTE: Does not apply to HSA accounts.)
■Do not use the Alerus Health Benefits Card to pay for expenses
that took place in a previous plan year. The Alerus Health
Benefits Card is only linked to your current plan year balance.
Submit prior year expenses for reimbursement through the
mobile app, online, or by email (during the applicable run out
periods).
■Only use the Alerus Health Benefits Card to pay for eligible
expenses — ineligible transactions will require repayment.
■Using the Alerus Health Benefits Card is optional — mobile,
online, and email claims can still be submitted any time.
The Alerus Health Benefits Card draws funds directly from your health
benefits account to pay for eligible expenses. It can only be used at
places where you might obtain medical, dental, vision, dependent care,
parking, or transit services (please check your plan for covered benefits)
with providers accepting Visa®.
Using the Alerus Health Benefits Card is easy! Simply present it at
qualified merchants and the cost will come directly from your balance.
