As you begin to use your account, it’s important to understand how to submit a request for reimbursement or payment to a provider. Your Ameriflex Debit Mastercard is the quickest and easiest way to access your account funds. But if you can’t use your card, getting reimbursed is easy. 

Two of the most common reasons for requesting a reimbursement or payment:

  • You paid for an eligible expense out of pocket.
  • To request a payment be made directly to a provider.
Note: Your provider must be set up with Vpay to complete the reimbursement.

The following sections show you how to request the two types of reimbursements from your account. 


Option 1: File a claim and reimburse yourself

You can submit a claim to reimburse yourself on your desktop or mobile app.
