Learn how to generate a claims report

Written by Josh Hostetler

The claims report lets you review claim activity, audit benefit usage, and track claim statuses. This report shows you all claims related to member benefits for selected organizations during the selected date range.

Conditional columns

Relationship, Funding ID, and Claims-based Funding Date (marked “Conditional” in the table above) appear only when enabled for your organization. If a conditional column is not enabled for your organization, you will not see it in your report.

Language Note

Our platform refers to individuals within an organization as members. You may also know members as account holders, consumers, employees, or participants.

Accountholder and dependent claims

The Relationship column shows whether the claim belongs to the primary accountholder or one of their dependents. No need to check enrollment separately.

Understanding benefit fields

Benefit Type and Benefit Title describe the same benefit at different levels of detail. Benefit Type is the system code (e.g., DC-FSA or HRA), and Benefit Title is the user-friendly name (e.g., Dependent Care or Healthcare FSA). You may also see Benefit Offering ID referred to as Benefit ID elsewhere in the Health Wallet Manager; these are different terms for the same thing: a unique identifier for a benefit configuration.

Card and manual claims

Each claim is either a card claim or a manual claim. A card claim is tied to a card transaction. A manual claim is submitted for reimbursement of an out-of-pocket expense. This distinction explains a few fields: Merchant Name is populated only for card claims and is blank for manual claims. A card claim may also show a blank Merchant Name if the card network did not include merchant data in the transaction.

Understanding claim statuses

The report uses the following claim statuses. The exact value as it appears in your export is shown in parentheses.

Claim status

What it means

Pending (PENDING)

The claim is awaiting evidence or has not yet been reviewed. This is the starting status.

In Review (IN_REVIEW)

The claims team is actively reviewing the claim.

Information Requested (INFORMATION_REQUESTED)

More information is needed before the claim can be processed.

Resubmitted (RESUBMITTED)

The member edited and resubmitted the claim, which returns it to review.

Approved (APPROVED)

The claim has been approved. This status is brief, because approval starts payment right away.

Payment Pending (PAYMENT_PENDING)

The claim is approved and payment is in progress.

In Accrual (IN_ACCRUAL)

Funds are accruing before payment. Applies to accrual-funded benefits only.

Paid (PAID)

The claim has been approved and payment has been completed.

Rejected (REJECTED)

The claim was denied. This is the status behind the Claim Denied Date column.

Out of Pocket (OUT_OF_POCKET)

An approved claim that hasn’t been paid because the member hasn’t met their out-of-pocket threshold yet.

Cancelled (CANCELLED)

Defined in the system but not currently in use.

A note on common statuses

Because some statuses are brief, you’ll see some far more often than others. “Pending,” “In Review,” “Information Requested,” and “Paid” are common. “Approved” is rarely seen because approving a claim starts payment right away, and the claim moves to “Payment Pending” almost immediately. You may see “Payment Pending” during the window between approval and finalization, since payment settles on a regular processing cycle.

Approved Amount and Out-of-Pocket Claims

For HRA plans with tiered reimbursement, “Approved Amount” reflects what’s eligible for reimbursement, not what the member was actually paid. A fully approved claim can still result in $0 being paid, with the status shown as “Out of Pocket.” “Claim Status” is the only signal of payment for these claims in this report, and even a “Paid” status doesn’t guarantee the full approved amount was paid.

Claim status dates

The report includes a date column for several statuses: Claim in Review Date, Claim Pending Date, Claim Denied Date, and Claim Approved Date.

Current status only

These columns reflect the claim’s current status only, not its history. Each date is shown only while the claim is currently in that status. For example, a claim that moved from pending to approved shows a date in Claim Approved Date but a blank Claim Pending Date. The date columns do not track past status changes

How members see claim status

Members see a slightly different set of labels in the Health Wallet, including “Partially Approved” and “Partially Paid.” These labels are not separate statuses in the report. They are based on the amounts:

  • A member sees “Partially Approved” when the approved amount is less than the submitted amount.

  • A member sees “Partially Paid” when a paid claim’s amount is less than the submitted amount.

In this report, these claims appear under their underlying status (e.g., “Paid”). Comparing the Submitted Amount and Approved Amount columns reveals the “Partially Approved” detail. The “Partially Paid” detail is not currently visible in this report, since the amount paid is not included as a column.

For HRA plans with tiered reimbursement, this comparison doesn’t fully apply. “Approved Amount” doesn’t reflect what was actually paid. See Approved Amount and Out-of-Pocket claims above for details.

Report selections reflected

The claims report reflects the selections you make when generating it. You can run it for all applicable benefit types or for a single benefit type. Note that HSA is not included in this report. Check the parameters when generating a report to ensure the results reflect what you need.
