Your provider will file a claim You will receive a Claim Recap showing the total cost and the allowed cost. Your provider will then bill you for the allowed cost of the service(s) If you have funds in your HSA you can pay your provider using your HSA checkbook or debit card When you visit a doctor that is not in the network: Show your ID card at the time of service You may be asked to pay at the time of services.
