Paying Medical Bills the easy way, Finally!
06/08/2019

The App takes a few minutes to set up, but once you get done, Wow! Your medical bill comes, you select who to pay, when and how much and for what reason. By the way, everything is multiple choice! Last step, take a photo of the actual bill or upload your own copy from an email or whatever; so many options. And finally, select SUBMIT! Within 72 hours you’ll know if your payment is approved. Very convenient. I’ve paid only 3 bills with it so far and it’s a snap and done sort of deal now. No more stamps and envelopes. However I did notice it took a bit longer for the bill to be ACTUALLY PAID than I anticipated. So make sure you pay the bill fast, because it took nearly 3 weeks for one of my bills to get paid. I even got a call from my doctors office asking where was my co-pay? I told them I paid it through this app, and I was happily informed that this is normal. Apparently my clinic is use to dealing with bill paying agencies and are very familiar with this App! So that’s another WIN in my book!

App not working

Used the app to get reimbursement for FSA and put in all data as instructed. When prompted added a document which was a photo of a document. The photo selected presented on the screen as the selected photo and I could not go any further. It was locked there . Could unselect it and select again but it would not allow to move forward in the process. Couldn’t swipe it in any direction. Called customer service to find out how I could get my reimbursement . I was transferred four (4) times until arriving at the right place. I am still on hold while writing this review going from a projected wait time of 39 min to 46 min to 53 min to now 52 min. In the mean time down loaded the app again and reentered the data and this time took a pic of the document instead of from my photo album. I was able to attach the pic but then the app would not advance to the next page to complete. I then “saved” the data which would not save the document . The page then when blank with the word “cancel” in the left upper corner and “save” in the upper right. Neither of which responded. Literally the worst app I have ever had to use. Very sub standard customer service . One of the individuals was cordial. One evidently hated her job and was miserable on the phone. I have been working on this for over 1/2 hour at this point. Still on hold for a project 43 more minutes.

Much easier than the computer

This app is very helpful when submitting information. It’s easier than having to scan things from the computer and there have not been any glitches or anything of all the items I have submitted. Would be nice to have an option for which year to apply a payment if you are making payments on a prior year though. I am sure that will be an issue but that’s mine for not knowing I couldn’t pay past years bills and have it go towards that balance. It comes off current year initially. Shall see if it ends up coming back to me or not. Overall the app is easier and more helpful than others I have used by far.

Wonky with photos & files
02/10/2020

We just adopted this at work, but is by no means easier than our previous vendors. When you try to upload photos of expenses, it’s super wonky with the way it pulls up photos. It pulls up folders, with no discernible organization. Instead of seeing recents or favorites, it’s all over the place. And instead of selecting source type, it auto-pulls iCloud folders, which is just as messy as you can imagine. So I just save everything into the one random folder that comes up first, but that’s not ideal for my own organization. Not an intuitive or seamless experience. Same with files. I’ve followed the file guidance, but still have no luck posting them. And when I make a claim, it’s hard to tell whether the image/file is accepted. Once I realized that my file wasn’t because my claim was marked incomplete, I went back in to upload again. When I uploaded a PDF or an image, it doesn’t give me status or action button for my next step. After trial & error, I figured out that I should just close out of the claim & hope for the best. Not a great experience.
