IIAS Implementation Update
May 27, 2009
In December of 2008, we sent a communication informing you of the IRS Notice 2008-104 regarding drug store and pharmacy merchant category codes. Please note, effective July 1, 2009, drug stores and pharmacies are required to either have implemented an IRS-approved inventory information approval system (IIAS) or satisfy the IRS' 90% rule, which states that 90% of the store's income consists of eligible healthcare expenses, in order for healthcare cards such as the PayFlex Card to continue to be accepted.
For your plan participants, this means that the PayFlex Card might not be accepted at a drug store or pharmacy that had accepted the PayFlex Card prior to July 1, 2009, if the store has not met the IRS' requirements stated above. Please note that the decision to comply with the IRS' requirements is made by the individual drug store or pharmacy.
On May 31, we will post the updated regulations on the home page of the participant portal along with links to the listings of drug stores and pharmacies that will continue to accept the PayFlex Card. In addition, we will be emailing the linked participant-ready communication during the week of June 1 and again during the week of June 22 to all plan participants who have enrolled in eNotify via the participant portal.
Thank you,
PayFlex Systems USA, Inc.
