No. It was the deductible. I was checking my wife into the hospital for birth. The hospital had no idea I even have an HRA account. I called and will eventually get the difference back. My point and super's point is that the plans aren't working as easily as advertised. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to get the plans to work as advertised. I agree with Super that our health plans need a lot of improvement. Delta brags about the premiums going down over the last couple of years, but I am guessing the quality has been dropping with it.
