FILE CLAIMS AND UPLOAD RECEIPTS
(does not apply to HSA)
■From the Home page click the File a Claim button in the I
Want To: section.
■The claim filing wizard will walk you through the request
including entry of information, payee details, and uploading
a receipt.
■To submit more than one claim, click Add Another, from the
Transaction Summary page.
■When all claims are entered in the Transaction Summary,
click Submit to send the claims for processing.
The Claim Confirmation page will then display, from here you
can save or print the Claim Confirmation Form for your records.
If you did not upload a receipt, you can upload the receipt from
this screen or print a Claim Confirmation Form to submit to the
administrator with the required receipts.
NOTE: If you see a Receipts Needed link in the Tasks section
of the Home page, click on it to be taken to the Claims page.
From here you can view claims that require documentation and
upload receipts as necessary. Click on a line item to view the
claim details and upload receipts link.
MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR HSA
Contributions can be made to your HSA by transferring from
your personal bank account. You must also make sure to report
that contribution on your tax returns to claim your deduction at
tax filing time.
■To make a contribution click the Make HSA Transaction
button from the I Want To: section.
■If you have a bank account on file, you may use that as your
contribution account or click the link to add a new bank
account.
■You may make one-time or recurring contributions. Complete
the transaction information and follow the remaining steps
of the online HSA transaction wizard.
■The funds will be withdrawn from your personal bank
account within two business days of your request. Funds
become available in your HSA as soon as they are deposited.
HOW DO I REQUEST A DISTRIBUTION?
(does not apply to FSA/HRA benefits)
■To request distribution from your HSA, you may select the
Make HSA Transaction button from the I Want To: section.
■Complete the fields as prompted by the online HSA
transaction wizard. You may choose to have the disbursement
issued to yourself or someone else.
HOW DO I GET MY REIMBURSEMENT FASTER?
It’s often most convenient to use your Health Benefits Debit
Card at the point of sale to pay for eligible expenses. But if
you did not use your debit card, the quickest way to receive
reimbursement is to sign up online for direct deposit.
■From the Home page, select the Tools & Support tab and then
click Change Payment Method in the How Do I? section.
■Click Update.
■Enter your bank account information and click Submit.
■The Payment Method Changed confirmation displays.
■If there is a bank validation requirement, you will be notified
to look for a small transaction or “micro-deposit” in your
designated bank account in the next couple of days, which
will validate your account.
