Today I went to submit for reimbursement from my flexible spending plan. Since I scan in all my receipts, assembling the information was quite easy. Our plan allows us to use a “wizard” to prepare the reimbursement. It generated a PDF cover sheet with all the information filled out. I added all my receipts (stored in Paperless), filled it out using PDFPen, added my signature and had one massive PDF. The form said to mail it via USPS or fax it. Since I pay $0.10 per page to send a fax via j2, I printed out the 13 pages, shoved them in my fax machine and sent it (the fax number was toll-free, but I have unlimited calling, so it didn’t matter). Now if I had been able to upload the PDF to their web site, I would have saved the paper.
