If you are looking for a company that will be thorough in the substantiation process and will have the employee ready in the event they are audited, WEX is perfect. If you employees have a hard tolerating being asked multiple times to substantiate similar or same claims, this company is likely not for you.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • In my opinion, poor application of IRS rules
  • In my experience, frequent denial of coverage to be later reversed
  • In my experience, poor complain processing rules
  • need PAPER checks to be sent if you need to reimburse them. PAPER! They don't accept credit cards. A credit card processing company that doesn't accept credit cards.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • In my experience, WEX has an inability to connect with other entities on the supply chain (bswift, internal benefits department).
  • Slow support request turnaround (3-5 business days).
  • Makes FSA substantiation unnecessarily difficult.
  • Even when there’s a single itemized receipt for all charges, every charge must be substantiated with a separate upload.
  • Even though doing so would satisfy IRS guidelines, WEX won’t accept third party explanations of services as FSA substantiation.

We never really had one place for all of our HSA, FSA and COBRA needs. We used multiple vendors and our employees a variety of vendors and banks they could set up their accounts with. WEX really help simplify and uniforms the whole process and help streamline all HSA, FSA and COBRA processes
