Setting Up Express Reimbursement on the Website
This article applies to you if you have a Via Benefits reimbursement account (sometimes known as a Health Reimbursement Arrangement)*.
When premiums are available for Express Reimbursement, an informational page displays after signing into the website.
1. Sign into Via Benefits and select View Accounts in the Funds and Reimbursements section.
2. Select Visit the Reimbursement Center for the desired account on the Request Reimbursement and Manage Funds tab.
3. If eligible, a notification regarding Express Reimbursement will display on the Dashboard. Select which expense to submit for reimbursement.
4. On the Eligible Expenses page, elect Express Reimbursement for each eligible premium separately.
Note: Primary’s Portion is displayed when an employer or former employer limits who can be reimbursed from the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). In the example below, the account only allows reimbursement for the primary participant, so the policy has been split to allow the participant’s portion of the expense.
5. Review the expense and make any needed edits by selecting the Pencil icon.
Note: If you edit the Policy Period or Amount and change the request to a higher value, you’ll need to submit supporting documents. Follow the prompts to upload documents. When documentation is required, it needs to reflect the premium amount requested, or if the policy starts before or ends after the date reflected in Express Reimbursement, documentation must reflect the correct dates.
6. Select Submit when all of the information is correct.
7. On the Finished page, you will see a message indicating if the request is Approved, Denied, Approved and Denied, or Submitted.
Note: You may be presented with the opportunity to Sign Up Now for direct deposit and get your reimbursement faster.
