Paying for Medical ExpensesPayment to a Medical Service Provider (Doctor, Hospital, etc):Show your insurance card and explain that you have a high deductible healthplan. Most Doctor’s offices will request that you wait and pay for their serviceafter the bill is processed through insurance. It is best to pay after theinsurance EOB (explanation of benefits) has been processed and you receivethe correct bill from your provider. Always be sure to check provider billscarefully against your EOB so you receive the negotiated carrier rate!Payment at the Pharmacy:Pharmacies have a system in place which enables them to immediately accessan insurance carrier’s negotiated rate for prescriptions, so payment will benecessary at the time of purchase. Use your HSA debit card or a check forthose items. Keep in mind that it is wise to comparison-shop, as costs can vary

Maximizing HSA SavingsMost of us are accustomed to a traditional co-pay system where we are unaware of the realcost of healthcare. The following suggestions can be helpful in developing a more “consumerdriven” mindset to save more money with a Health Savings Account: Contribute whatever is possible (up to IRS limit) to increasetax savings Try local clinics vs. ERs for minor emergencies; Explorealternatives to physician office visits when it makes sense Buy generic vs. brand-name prescriptions if they areavailable Compare different locations’ costs for medical procedures/testing in advance. It is often possible to find a lower-costalternatives for the same procedures “Bargain shop” for medicines Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club,Costco, etc. (Check out Wal-Mart's website for their 4.00prescription list!)
