Initially the process of setting up the HSA account online and secondly allowing part of that money going into investing in the market thru a Schwab account. The whole process took like a week but it was easy and accurate.

This is by far the worst company ever
This is by far the worst company ever. I was reimbursed for my father's senior day care. Than I seen another 200 available than proceeded to ask if it was available I was told yes. I submitted it was approved than I paid out the money. Just for Lively to come back and say it's not available. I would never use this company if you value your money don't put it into Lively they are a scam

Lively doesn't communicate, charges extra fees
Lively is not a very straightforward company as far as communication, and they have some shady business practices that seem designed to get you kicked off of COBRA and to nickel and dime with extra fees.
- The first notice I got that a COBRA payment check was lost was a letter more than 30 days later that my insurance was cancelled. I was traveling and did not receive it until I got back. It was a stressful and lengthy process to get the insurance re-instated.
- Later, when my premium went up for 2026, Lively did not charge me the balance of $51. Instead, they left it as an outstanding amount on the website and did not tell me that it was due. Non-payment would have also led to my insurance being cancelled. And then they charge an unemployed person a $20 fee to pay the outstanding $51. It's absolutely shameful how the system seems designed to kick you off of COBRA if you aren't paying attention, and how it seeks to take advantage of payers. They say that this is a fee from the credit card processor.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the frustration and stress you experienced. We know how important clear communication and transparency are when it comes to health coverage.
We hear your concerns around the missed balance notification following the premium increase, and how stressful it was to discover the $51 amount without a proactive alert. We also understand your frustration with the additional $20 processing fee. It is never our goal for the payment experience to feel confusing or burdensome, and this feedback is helpful as we look for ways to improve how we communicate balances and fees.
If you are open to it, we encourage you to reach out to our Support team directly so they can review your situation and help address any remaining questions or concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced and understand how stressful COBRA coverage and payment timelines can be.
In some cases, COBRA benefits are administered through Lively, but individuals may not have a direct Lively account. When this happens, our Member Support team has limited visibility into account-specific details, and our role is to help route members to the correct COBRA administrator for support.
We take your concerns seriously and appreciate you raising them. If you'd like to connect further, our Support team is here to help guide you to the appropriate resources.

Multiple ways to upload copy of receipts is helpful. I can scan or take a picture on my phone.

Thanks for the nudges
I initiated an HSA transfer from a less-than-helpful custodian. While there was little they could do, they did alert me to check on the progress and reviewed the paperwork I completed. This was helpful.

Great for self-directed HSA!
Lively makes the self-directed HSA easy. Reimbursements are easy and the debit card is helpful. A lot of online purchases are blocked requiring reimbursements to be submitted instead of using the debit card, which can be annoying and inconvenient. Best part is the partnership they have with Charles Schwab so you can invest HSA funds over $3,000 in an HSA brokerage account. Oh and it's free to hold an account!
