At this time, Ohio University is not established with an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) and, therefore, WellWorks cannot accept debit cards from Flexible Spending Accounts such as Wageworks. We can, however, provide you with an itemized receipt for reimbursement submission to your Flexible Spending Account. While some of our services do qualify for reimbursement with some FSA programs, restrictions (such as a letter from your physician) may apply. WellWorks is not responsible for verifying expense eligibility prior to payment.
Different payment options are available for annual memberships. Members can set-up monthly direct debit payments (see payment instructions below) or pay in one lump sum at the time of enrollment or renewal. There is no difference in cost between the two payment options. If the member chooses Direct Debit, they can also choose to enroll in the Evergreen program, which auto-renews annually. See below for more details about the Evergreen payment option.
If you would like to pay for your annual membership via monthly direct debit payments, please be aware that, at sign-up (which must occur in-person to protect your personal banking information), we will ask you to 1.) pay the first month's fee and 2.) provide the following banking details: name of bank, routing number, account number.
Members who choose to pay through direct debit can also opt-in to an “Evergeen” payment option. An Evergreen membership has no expiration date and, therefore, does not require annual renewal paperwork. This option does have a $25 cancellation fee should the member choose to cancel their membership after one year.
