Yes. There are some situations in which a debit card transaction can be denied by a pharmacy or other location. This can happen if:
- You may be at an ineligible location
- You may be asking for more money than what you have elected and/or contributed
- Your card might have been temporarily suspended because your account is not in good standing OR because there is additional information required for previous transaction(s)
- The card might not have been correctly re-activated since being suspended for additional information subsequently received
- The valid location you are at has been identified in the system as an invalid location
- The card’s magnetic strip has been compromised
- The merchant’s “credit swipe machine” may be malfunctioning
- You have swiped the card yourself and indicated “debit” (which refers to a bank account card) rather than indicating “charge”
