Log in to HealthEquity
Navigate to your employer's dedicated benefits portal or mobile app provided by HealthEquity. Verify your remaining balance under your Account Summary.

Click "Submit a Claim" or "File Reimbursement", upload clear photos of your receipts, enter the expense amount, and select direct deposit for reimbursement in 3-5 business days.
