Employer is trying to remove money from our paychecks because of a mistake made when checking a patient in. They are trying to charge us for the total cost of the exam, is this legal?
Yes. When you receive a bill from your employer that would mean that they can bill you for the medical insurance while you were employed by them.
Can I add my monthly health insurance payment from my employer to my medical deductions, such as medications prescribed, office visits, etc..
Yes you have to your employer
To open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you typically need to enroll during your employer's open enrollment period. You can set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to use for eligible medical expenses. Contact your employer's HR department for more information on how to enroll in an FSA.
The employee contribution for medical insurance IS deductible. * Yes, but the employer must have an IRS Section 125 plan, also known as a "cafeteria" plan. Adopting the plan imposes fairness rules, and other administration provisions such as enrollment periods.
I hope you mean the lack of tax deductions. The medical deductions are the same as they have been except the threshold has increased from 7.5% to 10% for most people. You can deduct insurance premiums you pay yourself with after-tax income. This means that the insurance you pay through your employers Section 125, Cafeteria, Section 403 employer, or other pre-tax plans are not deductible. You can claim your co-pays and deductibles but you can't deduct medical expenses paid by insurance.
Your employer's obligation to pay premiums normally stops when your paycheck does, that is, when your medical and personal leave is exhausted, and there is nothing left to deduct the premiums with. When that happens, the insurance company, not your employer, cancels your health insurance for lack of premiums. There are many ways to avoid this tragedy, including donation of leave by co-workers, if permitted, to keep the paychecks coming, or employer paying premiums for you until you are able to return to work. Good luck. JJ
FSA money deducted from your paycheck goes into a special account that you can use to pay for eligible medical expenses, such as doctor visits, prescriptions, and medical supplies.
