If all goes as planned, I will be ditching TRS in 2020 and going with a Mother Delta offering, likely DPMP, and want to prepare myself.

I’ll have to search the myuhc website for a number.

I’ve had a few times over the years where my claim for the LPFSA was denied for no apparent reason, including 2 from last month. I have always just resubmitted the exact same info again as a new claim via the online submission form and they’ve gotten paid. Hopefully it works again this time. I noticed an oddity this time with the claimed amounts that were denied were different than the amounts I had submitted for. I have no idea where they came up with the claim amounts as the numbers don’t match anything on any of the documents I uploaded. They basically fabricated them out of thin air as far as I can tell.
UHC is not very impressive, that’s for sure.

FWIW, at UAL, we get a debit card for all FSA transactions and it works great. Every once in a while I get an email asking for a receipt for something (often dental work). I log on to my benifits site with my iPhone and there is a link to take a pic and submit instantly. I say this not to brag but rather to provide info as it wasn’t always this easy at UA. We complained enough that this is the new way of doing business.

Otherwise, I think there is only one sure, safe, course of action with UHC

I’m prepared to explain anything to the IRS, but clearly I have never seen any point of sale limitations.
