Reply to comment by UGA10 in Using FSA and HSA to help a family member? by [deleted]

No, this not what I want to do. In the past, when I used the card at a dental office I just swipped it, it was approved and that was it. I was using my own FSA or HSA funds and not insurance. I was interested in knowing if following up was a thing.

Even when you swipe the card, the plan provider can request additional documentation to validate the charge is qualified.

I understand, thank you for the response. Are you bading on direct knowledge? I am wondering about what kind of processing happens at the time of the swipe and what could happen other than denial. What could a punishment be.

What happens other than denial of the purchase is the vendor asking you for some money out of some other pocket of your money to pay its charges and you not being able to come up with a substantive enough reimbursement request to the scheme operator to give you back your money from "FSA."
