What to Do If Your HSA Bank Overpays a Provider

If your HSA bank overpays a provider, it's important to take action promptly to correct the error and protect your HSA funds. Here are steps you can take:

• Review the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance company or HSA bank to confirm the overpayment.
• Contact the provider's billing department and inform them of the overpayment. Provide any relevant documentation, such as the EOB, to support your claim.
• Request a refund from the provider for the overpaid amount. Be polite but firm in your communication to ensure a timely resolution.
• If the provider refuses to issue a refund, escalate the matter to your HSA bank. They may be able to assist in recovering the overpayment.
• Monitor your HSA account closely to ensure that the overpaid amount is refunded promptly. Keep track of all communication and documentation related to the overpayment.

It's essential to rectify overpayments promptly to avoid any financial loss and ensure the smooth functioning of your HSA account.

Dealing with an overpayment from your HSA bank can feel overwhelming, but acting quickly can help protect your hard-earned funds. Start by reviewing your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) sent by your insurance provider; this can help you confirm the overpayment details.
