    Abstract: In general, variations that occur when health care resources are allocated based on dated information may be corrected by receiving a report of a health care transaction to be processed by a health care intermediary administering a health savings account, determining that the health care transaction creates a variation when the health care transaction was initiated based on an indicated status that is different from the actual status of the health savings account, and resolving the variation by interfacing with the health resource provider to correct the variation.
