Save With HSA Here’s a little secret: Great Doctors are willing to charge much less for their service if you pay CASH! And you may even get preferential treatment. Suggested Steps to Take: Advise your doctor you’ll pay cash for their services at the time of your visit; Request a cash discount; Pay your bill and collect a receipt at the Doctor’s office before you leave; Do not send your doctor visit expenses to your insurance. Pay yourself back your qualified doctor expenses, up to your deductible amount, at the end of the year with your HSA account. This will allow you to receive a discount price on your doctor visit AND keep your HSA money fully invested longer so you can give your money more time to accumulate interest.
