Overview
It’s end of the year and I have some leftover balance in healthcare FSA.
Workflow
The user aimed to reimburse leftover healthcare FSA funds using Amazon invoice PDFs. Initial attempts with Claude Chrome and ChatGPT Agent failed due to file upload restrictions and missing UI controls. The successful workflow used Claude Code with Playwright MCP to parse PDFs, identify FSA-eligible amounts, and automate claim submissions. Human involvement was required to disable conflicting extensions and manually handle login prompts when agents failed.
Reported result
The author reported that the Playwright-based solution successfully auto-submitted a dozen claims in two minutes after the first manual verification. However, the post does not provide measured financial outcomes or confirmation of reimbursement approval. Failures occurred in earlier attempts due to technical limitations in browser extensions and agent interfaces.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include valid FSA portal access and correctly formatted invoice PDFs. Browser extensions like Claude in Chrome cannot handle file uploads, requiring Playwright MCP instead. Login steps often require manual intervention. Source reliability is anecdotal; no official metrics on success rates or cost savings are provided.
Try it
I need to automate FSA reimbursements from Amazon invoice PDFs. My invoices are in [replaceable: local directory path]. The FSA portal URL is [replaceable: portal URL]. Use Claude Code with Playwright MCP. First, parse all PDFs to extract 'FSA eligible' amounts and order dates, flagging duplicates. Do not submit anything yet. Show me the extracted data for one sample invoice. Once I confirm the data is correct, use Playwright to log in (I will handle the login manually if prompted) and submit the first claim. Stop after the first submission for my review. If successful, generate a script to batch-submit the remaining claims. Ensure no other Chrome extensions interfere with Playwright. If file upload fails, stop and report the error.
