Employees can use the Choice Fund checks to pay for out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles and coinsurance). Debit Card. Employees can use the Mastercard ® branded debit card to pay for out-of-pocket expenses. The card can also be used to get cash at ATMs to reimburse themselves for qualified expenses they paid with other personal funds (e.g., didn’t have debit card/checkbook with them at doctor visit so paid in cash). Online Bill Pay. Can pay medical expenses directly from HSA. Enables employees to monitor, manage and schedule payments online, anytime.
