MyChoice Flexible Spending Accounts by Businessolver
Businessolver, through the MyChoice Account platform, manages Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a special account you put money into that you use to pay for certain out-of-pocket health care or daycare costs. You don’t have to pay taxes on this money. Except for a small annual carry-over available on Health Care FSAs, you must use all of the funds during the calendar year. The following accounts are available to you.
To access your MyChoice FSA, you have two options. 1) Go to the Businessolver platform (orange button on the unitibenefits.com home page). Once you are in the Businessolver platform, click on the MyChoice Accounts menu near the top of the page to access your account. 2) Download and use the MyChoice mobile app. Directions on downloading and activating the app are on the home page of the Businessolver platform. If you are asked for a company key in registering for the app, it is Uniti. In the MyChoice platform (online or in the app), you can view balances, submit claims, and order additional debit cards.
