Reimburse Me

Reimburse Me for Android is a smart phone application that brings your employer-sponsored reimbursement accounts to your pocket. Designed for employees whose benefits are administered by Your Spending Account. With anytime access, you can view and maintain your health savings account tracking and dependent care claims without calling HR or filling out paper forms.

You Can Manage Your Benefits Anywhere

The app serves as a digital home for various kinds of accounts, including Health Care Spending Accounts, Health Savings Accounts, Dependent Care Spending Accounts, Health Reimbursement Accounts and Retiree Medical Accounts. Check your balances in real-time. No more guessing whether you can book in that dentist’s appointment or not. The claim submission process has greatly improved with a handy tool – just click a picture of your receipt, attach it with your claim, and submit it online. You don’t have to fumble through scanners or save a paper copy in a folder anymore.

The app offers more than just the FSA balance checker. It allows users to set up direct deposits, pay bills, contribute to accounts, and reclaim overpayments. The ability to collect digital signatures from your dependent care providers right at the device is another helpful benefit. You get timely alerts for account activity updates. You can access claims and payments from the past 30 days to keep track of your history on employee benefits management.

The Low Ratings – What’s the Real Story?

The rating of the app stands at 1.51 out of 5 stars after gaining 1,100 or more reviews. That is a clear indication of copper reliability or functionality issues. What’s causing such poor reception? Users often complain about issues that other competitors in the «HSA mobile banking» space may have solved better. What further changes can we expect from the app?

The restrictions are substantial. It is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution for filing claims without paper; it only works for employees who have their account managed by Your Spending Account and are already signed-up in the benefits program. You’ll be out of luck if your employer has a different administrator. In other words, it appears that the app has missed the market and is failing to compete with its peers.

Access Without Hidden Costs

It is quite simple on the money side, the app is free to download and has no ads or in-app purchases. Anyone who is eligible can use the complete feature set for no cost, thereby providing a barrier-free way to manage “employer-sponsored benefits.”

But the low user satisfaction ratings can’t be ignored. If your company uses Your Spending Account administration, you can access your benefit accounts through this application. However, the mountain of negative feedback shows that you should prepare for performance, UI design, or technical reliability issues. If your employer has a site or competitor apps which work to manage these accounts, it might be worth checking out, to avoid this hassle. This app could definitely appeal to a small group of users, but it is apparent that cannot possibly provide the standard users have come to expect from the likes of many modern financial apps.
