Find Eligible Expenses in a haystack and optimize healthcare spending, with Expense Scout
Lively · September 6, 2019 · 2 min read
Enhanced Reimbursement Experience
Today’s vast payment landscape allows employees to make monetary transactions in a variety of ways. However, the hidden cost of this flexibility may be missed opportunities for reimbursement on HSA-eligible expenses.
Whether an employee forgot their HSA debit card, preferred to use their rewards card, or simply didn’t know an expense was HSA-eligible, the end result is the same: spend extra time and energy to submit a manual submission, or miss out on the savings altogether.
Lively is committed to helping employees optimize healthcare spending. In addition to our intuitive expense submission and reimbursable bank features, we have enhanced the process with “Expense Scout,” which proactively surfaces eligible expenses for reimbursement that may otherwise be overlooked.
How It Works
Expense Scout is an optional feature and can be set up in a few quick steps within the Lively platform:
Employee securely links external accounts they’d like to be reviewed
Lively automatically identifies potential eligible expenses and presents them for confirmation
Employee reviews each expense and has the option to reject or easily submit for reimbursement
Pay With Confidence
There are many things employees cannot control when it comes to healthcare spending. But with Lively, employees have the freedom to pay for their healthcare in the manner of their choosing, and the confidence of knowing they are maximizing the benefits of their HSA.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) and Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) provide up to 30% savings on out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. That’s good news. Except you can’t contribute to an HSA and Healthcare FSA at the same time. So what if your employer offers both benefits? How do you choose which account type is best for you? Let’s explore the advantages of each to help you decide which wins in HSA vs FSA.
