The Sparta Area School District uses a third-party administrator to manage both its Health Reimbursement Arrangement plan and its Flexible Benefit (IRS Section 125 Plan).

For active employees with health insurance, the District funds an HRA that can be used to cover deductible and other eligble expenses.  The district maintains a "high deductible" health insurance plan.  Another HRA Plan is also used to manage some employee's early retirement benefit for health-related expenses.

The District's Flexible Benefit Plan is available to active employees.  Employees may elect to set money aside pre-tax to be used for eligible medical and dependent care expenses.

Employees can view plan information for both the HRA and Flex and submit claims (flex only at this time) through the MidAmerica website by logging in as a participant (initial log in = social security number, initial password = last 4 digits of social security number):  www.midamerica.biz
