Navia Benefits Card Overview
If you choose to enroll in either the Dependent Care Account or the Health Care Spending Account, you will receive your card within 1-2 weeks after your enrollment has been processed. If you currently have the debit card, Navia will reload your card with your full annual benefit. You will not need a new card until your card expires.
Benefits of the Navia Benefits Card:
- Your expense is paid directly from your plan to the provider. When you use your debit card, you will no longer have to pay out of pocket and wait to be reimbursed.
- Best of all, Navia will automatically clear copays or items purchased at participating Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) retailers that allow you to purchase only eligible items with your card. The IIAS Participating Retailers list can be located Here under Navia Benefits Card Information.
Using your Navia Benefits Card is simple:
- Use the card at your provider just like you would any other credit card. Be sure to save a copy of the bill, statement, invoice or receipt.
- This documentation must clearly show the date, type and cost of the service or product. (The credit card receipt alone does not contain sufficient information.)
- If you would like to request a PIN for your card you can click on My Debit Card from your benefits page online.
- You will receive an email notification requesting documentation for any charges that require substantiation.
- If all of the charges were cleared by the copay matching/IIAS systems, then you will not receive an email notification.
- Submit documentation to Navia Benefit Solutions via the online substantiation tool, our MyNavia mobile app, email, fax or mail.
- Remember, only the charges specifically listed as action required on your online statement require substantiation, any other recent charges have either been cleared by our copay matching system or have not yet been settled and will show up after your next notification.
You will not be able to purchase over-the-counter (“OTC”) medicines and drugs with your Navia Benefits Card. In order to claim these items for reimbursement, please submit an itemized receipt, accompanied by a prescription for the items you are claiming.
