If you’re enrolled in a Level benefit that isn’t dental or vision, your benefit summary may show a number of sample merchants and items, like grocery stores or fitness classes, sorted based on your coverage. While these aren’t all-inclusive lists of eligible merchants and items, you can use these examples for guidance on where and how to spend your benefit dollars.
Covered merchants
Level Card purchases from these merchants will be approved without a receipt, as long as you have enough in your benefit balance to cover the cost. For a Food benefit, for example, covered merchants might include grocery stores and restaurants.
Conditionally covered merchants
If you use your Level Card at one of these merchants, you’ll be prompted to add more information in the Level App to verify that your purchase is covered by your plan. (Some employers might set a threshold for receipt requirements. For example, depending on your plan, you might be able to make purchases under $25 at conditionally covered merchants without providing a receipt.)
Once you’ve added the information, we’ll review the details, and you’ll be notified when your transaction is complete. If your purchase isn’t covered, or if you don’t provide the requested information within 30 days, you’ll be asked to pay out of pocket for the transaction. Conditionally covered merchants often include superstores, wholesale clubs, or online marketplaces.
Excluded merchants
Some merchants may be set as excluded. That means your plan doesn’t cover purchases at these merchants, no matter what you purchase. Your Level Card will be declined, and any reimbursement requests will be denied.
Covered items
These items are covered under your plan. If you buy a covered item at a merchant that isn’t covered or conditionally covered, your Level Card will decline, but you can use a personal payment method and submit your receipt for reimbursement in the app.
Excluded items
Some employers choose to specify excluded items in their taxable plan. These items won’t be covered by your plan. If a member uses their Level Card and they’re prompted to upload a receipt, and their receipt shows that they bought an excluded item, they’ll be asked to pay the amount back. Any reimbursement requests for excluded items will be denied.
The Level Card can’t be used to purchase weapons.
