I have no idea but it did not work the way we were told by HR. At the time (5 years ago), I was working for a major corporation and they were headquartered out of Illinois. Our health insurance was through United Health Care (who I think are dirty as can be). I never once used the debit card.RoyGBiv wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 9:46 amI'm curious about this.... When we had an FSA, it was 100% under our control. Now we have a MSA (with HDHP) and again, nobody can touch that money unless I hand them the Debit card that is attached to it.jason812 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 7:56 pmNot Medicare story.

Do you know what rules changed to allow your insurer to touch the funds in your FSA without your permission?

Re: Medicare- The Health Care Standard Everyone Should Have
AARP lobbied for Obamacare. Why? Probably cause AARP knew it would make billions.
Health insurance companies never seem forth coming to me. You get a bill that says what the hospital charged, what they think it should because they only paid so much of it, and when you try to put all the numbers together, they don't add up correctly.
If the politicians wanted to fix health insurance, they would allow it to hit the open market and not be tied to an employer or the government.
