Claims
1. How do I submit a claim?
Submit your claim in two ways:
- Pay for eligible expense using your Mastercard. Take a picture of your receipt and upload it to the Everyday HSA mobile app.
- Pay for the service out-of-pocket (if Mastercard is not accepted). Follow the steps in the app for reimbursement.
The Everyday HSA mobile app, available through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
2. Do I need to keep copies of my medical receipts?
Receipts are needed to finalize your claim, once approved you can discard them.
3. If I lose my medical receipt, can I use a copy of my credit card receipt or cash register receipt instead?
No. Receipt requires details of the service you received to ensure its eligibility; payment receipts alone don’t provide sufficient information. If you lose a receipt, contact the provider (ie: the medical practitioner) and obtain another receipt from them. If the claim submission requires a medical receipt (e.g., Prescription), you will need a copy from your provider in order to have your claim approved.
4. What is the deadline for submitting claims?

Submit your claim to your partner’s plan first. Following adjudication, any amount not reimbursed is eligible for submission onto your plan. The Everyday HSA Mastercard could be used to pay the difference at the point of sale.
6. Do I need to submit multiple receipts as separate claims?
Purchases or services should be submitted as separate claims if they’re for different transactions and have different receipts.
7. Why was only a portion of my claim paid?
There could be a few reasons why your claim may be partially paid:
- The product or service being claimed are not eligible for coverage.
- The accounts being claimed against have insufficient funds to cover the full expense.

2. What is the role of a plan administrator?
As a plan administrator, you’re the go-to person for your company’s group plan responsible for letting SEP know when employees are added, removed or changing classes. You’ll also help employees with day-to-day administrative needs, so understanding your responsibilities and benefits plan is super important.
3. How do we fund the Health Spending Account?
Your HSA is funded based on how you set up your application – monthly, quarterly, or yearly. A predetermined amount will be withdrawn from your business bank account and held in trust. Your funds will be used to pay employee claims as they are incurred. The funds always belong to you and may be returned to you at no cost. Working with SEP, you will decide how the monthly contributions are structured. We recommend you determine your monthly contribution by totaling the amount you plan to offer your employees and divide by 12.
4. How do we enroll new employees?
Let SEP know when new employees are hired, then members can complete the enrolment by adding their dependents and other info needed to submit claims. You will also be able to manage employees through the Employers Self-Service Portal.
5. Managing our employees’ information:
A key part of your role is to update necessary employee information on time. This ensures claims are paid correctly and promptly and monthly billing statements are correct. As the plan administrator you need to ensure:
- Employees’ class information is up-to-date
- Employees leaving the plan are quickly terminated from the plan using the self-service portal
- Employees record Qualifying Life Events (QLEs) within 31 days of the event is informed in advance about other important employee benefit changes, such as leaves of absence (LOA), lay-offs, and benefit extensions due to severance agreements.
6. What happens if an employee leaves the company?
When an employee leaves the company, they can only submit claims that occurred before their last day of employment (or the date the admin uses to remove them from the plan). They would then have to 30,60,90 days to submit any claims that occurred while they were eligible.
