Lifestyle Reimbursement Account
Use this employer-funded benefit to reimburse certain wellness expenses as outlined by your employer.
What is it?
A Lifestyle Reimbursement Account is a special kind of benefit that helps you cover the cost of certain expenses as determined by your employer. Lifestyle Accounts can reimburse physical, emotional, and financial wellness expenses; however, eligible expenses are determined by each employer and can be unique to your company. Please check with your benefits or HR department to determine what expenses are eligible under your plan.
How does it benefit you?
Employees are encouraged to focus on their well-being with a Lifestyle Reimbursement Account. The plan is designed by your employer to support wellness initiatives and help alleviate some of the burden of your out-of-pocket costs.
What is Debit Card Documentation?
If your Lifestyle Reimbursement Account comes with a P&A Benefits Card, you may be required to submit a receipt to P&A to verify your purchase is eligible under the plan. To submit debit card documentation, please see the options under “submit a claim” below.

All claims must be accompanied with a receipt/proof of purchase that includes the date(s) of service and service(s) rendered. Estimates or statements with previous balances are not sufficient.
