I never had issues with any of my flex spending card for the past years until my company switched to this company.
They like harass people with EOB and their web site doesnt work:
They keep sending letters to me to for EOB, which I uploaded to their site, problem is their web site doesn't work properly, I selected eob pdf document from my dental insurance company that I downloaded then click submit, nothing happened, for all 5 documents, only one document did get uploaded and I also got a confirmation message on screen after upload. Rest upload pages just hanging there doing nothing after I clicked on submit.
They never understand EOB so they keep harass you with more detailed EOB:
Once EOB documents uploaded, they don't understand it, of course they don't understand it, the dentist don't charge me exact amount for every visit, dentist will charge me some amount then dentist will get insurance company's payout then charge me for the rest for next visit. I explained to them many times, they just dont understand and keep asking me for more detailed EOB document. They are like zombie's that can't think for themselves and they are driving me crazy.

Fire the CIO and the CIO that chose them for the provider of Aetna's HSA account. Accenture is the company that offers the health insurance and i'm sure selected this managment for the HSA accounts.
I'm with Kaiser now and no longer Aetna, but it was the same HSA manager.
When Kaiser submits invoices for payment they appear in an antiquated list for me to approve.
One Dr. visit triggered 4 individual bills from labs and offices, imagine a complicated visit.
There is no way for me to consolidate the 4 bills into one for payment to Kaiser.
I have to click 'Pay' on each line item, select to provider (Kaiser dugh...), then the fun begins.
They don't remember previous addresses and since they use non-standard field names, the auto-fill of the browser can't remember any address either.
No way to store common provider address!
Requires me to individually enter each field for the address, every time I need to send payment!! what a waste of time.

HSA’s aren’t subject to the approval oversight of FSA’s. Yet this pos company has held my money, claiming the need to check credentials. The wait multiple days before contacting me to raise the issue. All information has been double checked, yet these thieves still have my money. They claim that a $1000 distribution is subject to additional checks? Really, $1000 is “big” money for medical services? Yes, they are thieves and crooks. Shut them down.

How are all of these complaints going unprosecuted? This company is stealing everyone's money. I've paid $2,200 to them over the course of three years and they won't even let me set up an online account, which is necessary to pay any of my bills. After three years, I have quite a few bills that I need to pay! I finally realized that I had to initiate a request on my own for a PayFlex card in order to create an online account. I used the number on that card to try setting up an account multiple times over the past month. Every single time I go through the multiple page process of setting up an account it tells me at the end "You're unable to create an account at this time." I called PayFlex. I told the woman on the phone right away how mad I was that I've been trying unsuccessfully to create an account for three years. At one point during our conversation, exasperated, I said "I can't spend my money!" This woman, Dee, replied "I'd be happy to spend it for you." It took every once of patience not to scream in her ears at that moment. She told me that her website only works on Internet Explorer. I've now tried that and got an error even earlier in the process than before. She tried to keep me on the phone for five more minutes, telling me all about how I can use my account online or using the mobile app. I told her I need an account first! She asked me if I was on the computer and if I could get on one. She acted like I needed her to walk me through the process like it's my fault it's not working. This company needs to be shut down.

Payflex is doing everything in their power to keep my money. I have submitted the same bill, different service dates. They accepted it one time, then randomly did not accept it the next. I have submitted proof of payment for surgery. A detailed bill. An explanation of insurance payment and they still reject it. In the end, they will walk away with my money $388 which is what they want to do. Their customer service gives mixed information. They website barely works. They make it as humanly hard as possible so that they can keep your money. Companies STAY AWAY FROM PAYFLEX. READ THEIR RATINGS. They are crooks at best.

I echo all the previous complaints listed here, with an exclamation point!! It seems every time a submit a legitimate claim, it gets rejected. When I submit receipts from the service provider, they tell me they need an explanation of benefits received from insurance provider. I call the insurance provider (in this case dental) and they tell me they are required to submit to medical insurance provider first, which will get rejected. This whole process takes weeks or months. In the meantime, I get almost daily messages from PayFlex that my claim needs URGENT ATTENTION and that my account will be frozen if I don't provide the documentation, which I can't get. As others have said, THIS IS MY MONEY!!! Why should I have to spend all this time and be hounded, just to release MY MONEY!!! This is an ongoing issue and I feel my hands are tied because my employer uses AETNA, which apparently owns PayFlex, and thus I am required to use them.

I would fire the CIO over the web development they have done! Worst site ever, I had no issues going from an API link from Aetna. Now I have to create a new account as I no longer have Aetna. Well your enotify has my user id, password, and security question with just plain garbage in it

so since my last 4 digits of SS# is attached to this account I can never create a new user account or even log in...

This has to be the worst FAS administrator organization on the planet;

1. Phone lines always overloaded.

2. Customer Service reps always complaining about how their system is so slow and taking forever to do the simplest tasks.

3. Repeated requests for verification of FSA expenses that are obviously covered by IRS guidelines including my wife's ObGyn, my sons dentist, a hospital surgical copay, etc.

4. No obvious way to upload EOBs to satisfy these ridiculous requests for verification .. Turns out you have to file another claim

5. Suspension of FSA card when you can't get verification to them quick enough... Every other FSA administrator organization would ask for verification and if not received, issue the appropriate IRS documentation requiring tax to be paid...

Clearly an organization not investing in people, processes or technology and with no interest in customer satisfaction.

Using pretax dollars is not worth my time and aggravation of using PayFlex.
PayFlex, congrats! You make the DMV look like the Gods of efficiency & processing.

This company is an evil combination of; an incompetent IT help desk & an Insurance company that is on the verge of insolvency. Don't plan on actually getting resolution to any issues, but plan on wasting many hours of your time only then to have your claim denied and funds frozen. The ability to shut down debit cards and freeze your funds is what makes this company so sleezy. On the plus side the service reps have all been nice and they do try to help. However since they are under trained and are given little authority or real time access to correct issues. What this leads to is an outcome driven by a horrible system that does not come close to matching the outcome the service rep has verbally shared. Be warned, you will spend hours chasing down issues created by PayFlex... the inconvenience of PayFlex is not worth the benefit of using Pretax dollars.

Wrong account being withdrawn from to another account. They won't do anything about it.

I had the misfortune of working for a company that uses Payflex. These guys are crooks and out right scam artists. I have submitted detailed bills via mail & via uploading to their websites to no avail.. I have spent 7 hours arguing over one claim and they keep saying hat the bills were not received despite scanning, emailing sending by courier. I made the mistake of setting aside $1800 for this year. They deduct the funds from my pay but will not let me use the funds. They blocked the debit card so I cannot use it to pay hospital bills or pay for subscriptions. If I submit claims via web or mail they are automatically denied and I am forced to send the same receipts & bills to no avail. Calls to their customer DISERVICE phone line are just another sense of frustration.

This is my money let me use to pay medical bills! !!!

Everyone - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Take the money you would normally have deducted from your pay stub and deposit in the bank. That way you will at least have access to the funds.

Payflex is an insurance company. They do NOT want you to have access to your money. They will keep delaying the payment and at the end of the year when you haven't spent the money they get to keep it! What a scam. Not only are they getting paid a ton by the company you work for, they are collecting interest on your money and they are delaying payment so they get to keep it. These guys are crooks and should be closed

I have search high and low for some answers concerning pay flex. No one seems to be in charge of these crooks. I submitted claims for hormone replacement in 2015 was denied because in Dec. 2014 I paid my husband bill (to his Cardiologist ) for $91.14. I was told " We need a receipt" I sent it, no response. I sent in my own claims for the hormone replacement Jan 2015 it is now April 2016 I am still in a major disagreement with them. They said " Why are you taking hormone replacement? How long have you been taking the replacement? How long are you going to that the replacement? " Answer " I'm 56, post menopausal, started taking 2 years ago, how long? Who knows".
I ask for a number to someone I can file a complaint with. I was told " we don't have one. You can go online and file a complaint to our manager. Really! Your company is my problem!

What is the governing agent to this HealthHub? Does anyone know?

I submitted a claim for reimbursement which requires a prescription to properly qualify. I provided the prescription and it was still denied. When I called PAYFLEX, the rep stated that I would need a letter of medical necessity ("LMN"). I pointed out that their website information page provides the OPTION of a doctor's prescription OR a LMN however they refused to budge. I then provided PAYFLEX a LMN and they still have not reimbursed me. I am considering taking a position with another company. I will ask them if they use PAYFLEX and if they do, I will let them know I'm turning down the job for that reason...

I thought it would be a good idea to set up this pay flex account to cover the expenses for my daughters braces pre-tax. I would not recommend anyone using this company. No one you talk to at this company will give you full details on what is needed after they suspend your account. They keep delaying paying you and I'm afraid it will be until the expiration date in which you then lose YOUR money.

One other note Sierrani (that left a comment on this site) sounds like one of the arrogant SOB' s you have to deal with at this company. Where some of her points may be factual, there is no-one I have spoken with at this company capable of explaining all the hoops you have to jump through to get your hard earned money.

After contacting Payflex 5 times regarding incorrect information that they entered on my account, still do not have this issue resolved.
I have asked to speak to a supervisor all 5 times and was told I could not be transferred to one and did not offer any alternatives.
In the meantime, the incompetent employees are taking incorrect amounts out of my account and I cannot get them to correct it.
Who do you have to speak to to get things corrected at Payflex????????? And how to you get in touch with a supervisor???????

Extremely Frustrated!!!!!!!

This company is not capable of doing the job they were hired to do and something needs to be done IMMEDIATELY

I finally logged on to my 'new' service for Claims Payment. There existed 2 pages of claims that should have been paid. I don't work for PAYFLEX - I am the 'customer'. Why do I have to log in and look up and enter all the addresses of the providers when they obviously had the bill and scanned the information regarding each claim.

Why is the address left blank?

Who said I would enter it for them? No one trained me in their unintuitive system. I am on #3. It has been 45 minutes and I have had to do 2 of them twice and the 3rd got submitted without the city and state. Where is that going to go?

Technology is lacking. Why are they shifting data entry to the customer!

Furious!

My experience has been absolutely HORRIBLE with PayFlex.
