I enrolled in Cobra insurance coverage and made my first payment on 4/24. I went to the doctor yesterday and they said I don't have any insurance coverage. They also placed a prescription order and I was told I don't have coverage for that, either. I called Chard Snyder and they support person didn't know what was going on and wasn't helpful. I need the coverage I paid for.Business Response

I accidentally used my flexible spending card in February 2025 for a charge at my dentist without realizing that the service date was from December 2024. So understandably the claim was denied and I was expected to repay the amount to Chard Snyder. I have made this mistake before and resolved it by paying for FSA accepted charges with my personal card, submitting the receipt for offset of repayment, and applying the amount to the balance owed. I have made 4 phone calls to chard Snyder asking how to submit my receipt to do this, and was given 4 different answers. I was told to submit the receipt online and write offset of repayment, that didn’t work. I was told to fax the receipt and write the same thing, that didn’t work. I was told I need additional documentation…I submitted what was requested and that didn’t work and they continue to make direct deposits to my account. So I tried to call and make a payment towards the balance in the amount they reimbursed me. Also impossible, as they would only accept the full amount due. No one knows what they’re doing, everyone gives incorrect information, and they are all incompetent. Any attempt to speak with someone in a manager position is met with the response “they’ll call you eventually, keep your line open”. As of now, we’re at a standoff and I just want to repay them the money that they incorrectly deposited in my account.Business Response

I signed up for this service in November 2024. I was supposed to receive a benefit card in January 2025. I’ve called several times and they keep saying my cards are still in production. This answer is unacceptable in February 2025. I want my cards now . I don’t think this is an unreasonable request. They are withholding my benefits.Business Response

The participant contacted Chard on January 17, 2025 at which time a Chard Participant Services team
member requested a replacement debit card for the participant. Due to a processing error, there was a
delay in mailing the debit card. Chard mailed a replacement debit card to the participant on February
28, 2025 to the address listed on his account. Chard sincerely apologizes for the frustration caused by
this delay.
Even prior to a participant receiving their debit card, a participant maintains access to funds in the
account. Requests for reimbursement may be made by filing an online claim through the member
portal, submitting an expense via the mobile app, or using an Out-of-Pocket Reimbursement Request
Form.

This account was opened unbeknownst to me, only known when I received debit cards in the mail. I never deposited funds or requested reimbursement. I have spoken with customer service to close the account. First I was told to send a letter requesting to close the account. I sent them the requested letter. Then I received an email stating I needed to fill out the "attached" form to close the account. No form was attached. I have since spoken to two customer service reps who told me they could do nothing, could not transfer me to the appropriate department, or do anything else. They are instructing me to email the company to request the form that wasn't attached. I shouldn't have to go through all this effort to close an account that I never opened in the first place.Business Response

On December 31, 2024, at approximately 10:00 PM PST, I placed four orders through FSAstore.com totaling $1,500. Chard Snyder inappropriately authorized these purchases against my 2025 FSA funds, despite the transactions occurring in 2024. This error has: 1. Depleted my entire 2025 FSA balance prematurely 2. Left approximately $500 unusable in my 2024 account 3. Created significant hardship in resolving the issue due to inadequate customer service Attempt to Resolve: - Made approximately 8 separate phone calls to customer service - Requested supervisor intervention on each call - Received only one supervisor callback (Jen) on 01/14/2025 - Multiple promised callbacks were never received Specific Issues: 1. Improper fund allocation between calendar years 2. Inability to access supervisor-level support 3. Failed escalation procedures 4. Disconnected calls when recording was mentioned 5. Lack of transparency regarding refund allocation 6. No clear resolution path provided 7. Critical time sensitivity due to 30-day return window Customer Service Failures: - Two promised supervisor callbacks never occurred - Escalation request on 01/22/2025 was never processed - Customer service representative (Christine) terminated call when informed of recording - Unable to get direct supervisor access - 3-5 business day waiting periods for supervisor callbacks not honored - Foreign-based customer service unable to transfer calls to supervisors Impact: - Risk of losing $1,500 in 2025 FSA funds - Potential loss of $500 in 2024 funds - Time spent making multiple calls and attempts to resolve - Approaching return deadline without clear resolution Requested Resolution: 1. Immediate correction of the 2024/2025 funds 2. Written confirmation of proper fund allocation for returns 3. Extension of return window due to administrative delays 4. Implementation of proper escalation procedures 5. Compensation for time spent resolving this issue 6. Written apology for poor customer serviceInitial Complaint

Chard Snyder services my employer Health Savings Account. Chard Snyder is refusing to provide my tax documents unless I agree to "You agree to indemnify and hold us, and our parents and affiliates, harmless for any loss or damage caused by your access..." This is unnecessary and unreasonable to require me to agree to these terms in order to receive the tax documents which I need to file my state and federal income taxes.

I have had a claim denied 4 times since January due to insufficient receipts. After submitting everything Chard Snyder asked me to, including the entire itemized Explanation of Benefits, now I’m told the claim is denied because there is no date of service listed. Which is incorrect because that is found on the EOB. I have paid back this company almost $900 and can’t seem to get a penny back to help me.Business Response

Chard Snyder appreciates the opportunity to respond to this participant’s complaint. Chard places the

be confusing and are often frustrating to participants and their family members. We do our best to try

The plan in which this participant is enrolled is an employer-sponsored plan governed by IRS regulations
and plan rules as defined in the employer’s plan documentation. Chard provides administrative services
on behalf of employers pursuant to service contracts with the employer.
IRS rules governing the account require that all claims be substantiated. The IRS requires that the
documentation include the provider or merchant name, the date the service was incurred, the type of
service, the cost of the service, and, when there is insurance, the amount insurance has paid. An
Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from the insurance carrier would provide this required information. A
receipt alone generally does not meet IRS requirements. Medical expenses are incurred when the
employee (or the employee’s spouse or dependent) is provided with the medical care that gives rise to
the expense, and not when the employee is formally billed, charged for, or pays for the medical care.
This participant has submitted 2 claims in the 2024 plan year for the participant’s health FSA. Based on
the substantiation provided, one claim has been approved. No further action is required from the
participant for this claim. One claim remains denied as the portion of the Explanation of Benefits
provided does not include the date and type of service as required by IRS regulations.
The participant can contact the Chard Participant Services team with questions or further information
on claim substantiation.Initial Complaint

I have an HSA account through my old employer that has $190.xx in it. We have HSA debit cards to use for healthcare purchases such as medicine and copay. In early October, my husband (a covered dependent) has a dental appointment and forgot to take his HSA card with him. He paid the copay of $100 on his own personal debit card. I filed a reimbursement from the HSA and it was approved. I received an email on 10/18/2024 that a check was sent to our mailing address. I’ve been waiting and I have informed delivery from USPS and no check has arrived. I called Chard Snyder on 11/12 to report that I still haven’t received the check. They CONFIRMED that the check hasn’t been cashed and told me to email their [email protected] for further assistance. I emailed them that same day. I got a response from the HSA department today sending me a stop payment request form and stating I’d be charged $30 for cancelling the payment. I called customer service and explained that it’s not my fault that I didn’t receive the check in the mail and asked for the tracking number to get USPS involved. Surprise surprise, they didn’t have one. So this company is trying to charge me $30 for a stop payment for a check that I didn’t receive even after confirming my mailing address. They kept telling me “there’s nothing they can do, that I have to pay the $30 because it’s an HSA account”. So basically I did everything right and filed my reimbursement, but because the check got lost in the mail and they can’t even prove they sent it out, I have to pay $30 to get back the $100 that’s already been deducted from my HSA funds? Mind you, this isn’t the first time one of my HSA checks for lost in the mail and when it happened the first time in 2022, it was reissued immediately with no problems.Business Response

When I became an employee of a company (I no longer work for) I joined and paid into the HSA program of Chard Synder. March 2022, my contract was absorbed by a different company. Since this time, I began getting letters in the mail as well as emails. I decided to call Chard Synder 04/2024 to inquire why I was receiving correspondence. I was told I had $550.00 HSA funds. I asked what needed to be done to get the remaining monies and to officially close the account. I have submitted 3 faxes with the form that Chard Synder sent (via email) with paid bills along with the bills from the participating providers for services rendered. I was just told again tonight my claim was denied with no explanation. I feel as though some fraudulent activity is being done within this company. I really want to recoup my $550.00 I have spent in health care bills from my HSA account and close this account with Chard Snyder.Business Response

Paid 1220.92 to Chard Snyder for ***** Coverage. Paid to be covered by ****** ********** (***) for back dating from June 1st 2024 to July 31st 2024. Understood there would be a 15 business day waiting period before I could start using the insurance again. That didn't happen. Had to pay full price .. over $800 for my medicine. Contacted *** and they stated they could not find any correspondence from Chard Snyder. Contacted Chard Synder for an update, rep stated that they will do an emergency correspondence with ***. It would take 24 hours for the correspondence to go through then another 3 business days before I should see the change on ***. That was mid July. I'm filing this complaint on August 9th and as the screenshot shows. *** never got the message for June and July. Sent an email on the chard website and via one on my personal email to cancel August as my actual insurance with my new employer was activated and voice my displeasure and the desire for a refund. They responded to my email about the cancellation and to this day never responded about my grievances.Business Response

All premiums received by Chard are remitted monthly and are not retained by Chard.
Chard processed the participant’s online ***** election on June 6, 2024 and received the participant’s full initial payment on June 12, 2024. Consistent with *****, upon receiving payment Chard notified the participant’s former employer of their ***** election on June 13, 2024, using the contact information and pursuant to the carrier notification process prescribed by the participant’s former employer.
On July 17, 2024, the Chard Participant Services team received the participant’s call regarding the status of their coverage. In an effort to assist, Chard sent an urgent update request to the authorized carrier contact on July 18, 2024.
Chard contacted the participant’s former employer and received approval to retroactively terminate the participant’s ***** coverage effective May 31, 2024 and refund the June 2024 and July 2024 premium payments. Because all premiums received by Chard are remitted monthly and are not retained by Chard, Chard will issue a refund to the participant once we receive the monthly premium funds from the participant’s former employer.
