Benefits by WEX 4+

This app has significant potential. I like being able to check my balance and upload receipts. But it doesn’t coordinate with my insurance and therefore the app doesn’t work as well as another I had in the past.

It automatically asks me for receipts/aka EOBs whereas my old provider used to automatically reimburse me for obvious things like a copay at a Doctor’s office. Also I had a lab refund my FSA card as they should not have charged me. The customer service rep I called at Wex said they saw the credit and it should take 1-2 months to rectify it. That was four months ago so I’m missing out on submitting another item.

I used the app to contact customer service via email and after I hit send instead of getting a confirmation that my question was sent - the app announced that it had “timed out for inactivity”. 2021 just won’t go away!

I am extremely upset with this service. The fact that they are denying a medical payment before the start of the year, as if I can control when I have a medical emergency, is on the verge of customer abuse. Why would a legitimate medical bill be denied for payment just for being accrued before the beginning of the year? I understand that due to IRS regulations require that the tax free money be spent on medical services only, but to control a customers money to this extent means that someone would have to suffer medical pain or other issues until the following year just so that they “qualify” for payment.

I expected better than this, and now I feel that I need to warn everyone about such a shady & dishonest practices. Next year, I have no intention or trust to put my money in this FSA ever again, as well as either report this company to the Better Business Bureau and keep as many other customers from using this service. I also feel that reporting these issues on social media will inform current & future customers from using & being abused by such distasteful services.

Last summer I had a severe case of trigger finger I went to a doctor at urgent care and he issued me a Breg hand and wrist brace to help with the pain. This FSA company denied payment on the brace. I got statements from Breg,so I paid them directly. This FSA company kept telling me they needed receipts so I sent them the receipt of what I paid for. Now they’re telling me I have to pay back the money to them, for what they never paid for in the first place. This is really messed up! I ended up having to go and get physical therapy done on my hand because of the pain. Also I ended up having to have Cortizone shots in my fingers. They’re giving me the runaround about that now. I had an overage so I know they kept a certain amount of money that I didn’t get to use up, and they still want me to pay them back more for something they never paid for in the first place. What a joke! If there were anyway that I could drop the FSA right now for this year, I would.
