Navia is the most horrible benefit administrator. There is no comparison.
I would give them negative rating if this website would allow me to. I incurred nearly $8K out of pocket for IOL lens implants for cataract surgery. I am trying to file a claim to get my healthcare FSA of $1500 reimbursed. My claim was denied 4 times and counting. Each time, I called them and asked what it is they need. I then provided the document. They then deny the claims again. They are horrible to work with.
Great experience
Great experience! Helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I’ve always had good interactions with their team.
Horrible experience
Horrible experience. My previous company used them as their COBRA provider, and I had a terrible experience dealing with them. Even though I made all of my payments on time, they were unable to activate my Dental and Vision coverage.
Every time I contacted them, I was told to pay the costs upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement. But why should I have to do that when I had already paid for the coverage?
I shared my experience with my former employer’s HR team, and I really hope they consider changing their COBRA provider.
Horrible experience
Horrible experience. I had Tri-Ad and they were great. Tri-Ad merged or sold to Navia, not sure which, and I have had nothing but issues. First I had to wait for a new card. Then purchases that used to go through are now getting declined. No one available to help when help is needed. They have a virtual assistant that answers the phone and the virtual is not very knowledgeable. This has been the worst customer service I have ever had. I checked my account and I have $400+ to use but my prescriptions are getting declined. And there is no one to ask why. SMH
Denied my claims even though I…
Denied my claims even though I submitted the exact same documentation I have for the past year. Customer service was incredibly unhelpful.
Absolutely Horrible Service Provider
I continually get denied for (what seems like) more and more ridiculous reasons. today, I was denied a claim for dermatologist-prescribed moisturizer with sunscreen because I bought (10) 3 oz. bottles. The explanation was that this could be considered, "stockpiling." So, I'm stockpiling 30 oz. of sunscreen and they refuse to reimburse for it. Avoid this service provider at all costs. This is not my first complaint for FSA denial with this company.
I would give them 0 if I could
I would give them 0 if I could. Totally useless customer service, cannot help or provide any useful answer. Worst FSA provided I have ever used. Avoid them at all costs if you can.
Basically Stole $100
Absolutely horrific. I am located in the DC metro area and enrolled for commuter benefits with my new employer, as I drive to the Metro station and take the train from there to work. Per the rail system guidance indicating that transit and parking funds come from different purses under SmartBenefits, I enrolled for both, only to find that I was unable to load from the parking funds.
I contacted customer service (for lack of a better term to describe them), providing the documentation and asking for assistance with retrieving my parking funds. Despite linking both the SmartBenefits document describing the issues with their system and the IRS guidance advising that it's permissible to move parking funds to transit benefit and vice versa, they refused to assist:
"We are unable to do a one-time transfer request to move the funds between the benefits. [...] I do understand the inconvenience this causes, but we are unable to accept your request." -- Connor
I personally consider $100 a bit more than an inconvenience, but I guess Connor doesn't. Maybe because it wasn't Connor's $100?
I responded with "So, just to confirm: you’re telling me that I am out $100 with no way to retrieve it because YOUR system doesn’t support using parking funds for parking at Metro and you have no intention of doing anything to rectify the situation. Is that correct?"
It turns out it was correct.
Hopefully we can switch providers during our next open enrollment. Rest assured that I'll be doing everything I can to make that happen.
Terrible customer service
They are so difficult to work with and their web site is not only poorly organized, but the buttons do nothing or throw errors. I’m asking my employer to reconsider using Navia this had been a huge time wasting nightmare
Is an FSA worth the trouble
Is an FSA worth the trouble? Navia is so disorganized and difficult to work with it makes me rethink the benefits of my FSA.
Constant errors
Constant errors, seems like a way to frustrate and steal from employees
It took this company a week to activate…
It took this company a week to activate my husband's Benefits Card, and every time we try to access our account we are told the telephone number or email address we entered doesn't match what they have on file. My husband contacted the company today and they told him he doesn't have an account; he created an account in January and was able to login. Who is running this company!?
If I could rate a zero for Navia…
If I could rate a zero for Navia Benefit Solutions I would. They are impossible to work with on my son's after school care program. They have denied my claims too many times making me jump through hoops to submit additional documentation even though I submit receipts straight from his school's data base. I absolutely agree with another review stating any HR department choosing this company is doing a disservice to their employees. Find another company, NBS is terrible. I will not be using them again, a small tax savings is not worth all this hassle!
Crap service
Crap service. I was set up to use the card and pay for prescriptions with Kaiser , I received a bill from Kaiser and it looks like the card from navia had been rejected, and no one contacted me. Pathetic. When things look too good to be true, here we go. Trying to call their renton 1 800 number, they cannot validate my phone number in order to access my records. Very angry, one more weak company. I pity their employees.
In the 2025 Benefits Year I submitted…
In the 2025 Benefits Year I submitted the required Explanations of Benefits along with the required form to Navia so that I could start drawing from my company's HRA instead of my HSA. I had confirmed receipt via a phone call I had made. A couple of months later I checked my HSA balance to find it short of what I perceived my amount should be. Upon further investigation I found that no funds were being drawn from my company's HRA. Funds continued to come from my HSA. After many calls to a very poor customer service group who were also very difficult to understand I started emailing Nauvia and my HR department. Weeks after the start of my investigation my wife caught up on the non-descript mail. There in a normal plain white envelope was a check. The amount was the exact same of the EOBs submitted so I could use my company's HRA. I should have never received that check. They are still screwing around with. I can tell you right now that I'll end up with a check for the amount that should have been taken from the HRA and not be able to put it where it was meant to be, in my HSA. Navia has a terrible business plan and piss poor customer service. No wonder they don't place a phone number on their emails.
Complete incompetence
Any Corporate HR team is doing their employees a genuine disservice by choosing Navia/UMB. Complete incompetence. Expect to spend hours on the phone if trying to move your HSA from Navia/UMB to a more professional provider.
Horrific
Horrific. They've been holding my money hostage with ZERO competency or updated information. I was NEVER sent my debit card, for months! Uploading claims to the website returns error messages constantly. Then when you ask for help they act like it's your fault and refuse to do anything. I asked to speak to a manager and they refused to transfer me.
what a nightmare
what a nightmare. didnt reinstate my benefits because i was short $0.06.. once I paid it they still didnt do anything but make empty promises.. after two month of paying premiums and no service I had enough..pure fraud..burn your money and you get the same results.
Terrible customer experience
Terrible customer experience, will not respond to emails (even though there was a ticket assigned). Systems are updated resulting in continuous calls and unknowlegeable reps. Extremely frustrating.
Navia is a total scam
Navia is a total scam, they will try their best to block you from getting any reimbursement even for 100% valid purpose.
