NueSynergy offers a smart debit card to provide account holders with a convenient method to pay for qualified out-of-pocket expenses for themselves, their spouse, and/or any dependents. Here are some frequently asked questions about the smart debit card.
Question #1: Where is the smart debit card accepted?
The NueSynergy smart debit card is accepted at any qualified merchant (as determined by the employer’s plan document). In addition, the card can pay for office visit copays, deductible-related expenses, prescriptions, eyeglasses, and dental work – including orthodontia.
Question #2: What are the advantages of using the NueSynergy smart debit card?
Any participant who uses the card at a qualified merchant can pay for their eligible expenses. This means they don’t have to submit a manual claim and wait for their reimbursement. Another advantage of using this card is that participants can view real-time account information, balances, deposits, and payments by logging onto our website or the NueSynergy mobile app.
Question #3: How does NueSynergy verify the smart debit card is used only for qualified expenses?
As long as there’s a sufficient balance in a participant’s account, any qualified purchase will be paid directly from a reimbursement account once the card is swiped. The IRS requires participants to keep all receipts for benefit account expenses for seven years in the event of a tax audit. If there is an error or unusual transaction amount, NueSynergy is required by the IRS to verify the transaction. If a transaction cannot be electronically substantiated, a participant will be sent a notification via email to submit a detailed receipt from the place of purchase. The detailed receipt should show the date of service, description (or type) of treatment along with the amount owed.
Question #4: How do participants send required documentation for substantiation of NueSynergy smart debit card transactions?
Participants can submit documentation via the NueSynergy mobile app, NueSynergy member portal, or by email at CustomerService@NueSynergy.com.
