    Quick tips for using your Health Account

    Pay for eligible healthcare costs the way you prefer! There are three ways to pay:

    1. The easiest way to pay with funds from your Health Account is by using your Payment Card. Here’s how it works:
      • When you have an eligible expense at a healthcare provider or pharmacy, simply swipe your card, and the expense is automatically deducted from your balance.
      • Check your balance online or on the mobile app, Optum Financial (App store/Google Play), at any time or opt in to our automated text balances online.
      • Take a photo and upload documentation (like your Explanation of Benefits or itemized receipts) through the app or upload receipt files through the website.
        TIP: When using an itemized receipt, ensure it includes a description of service or item, amount of expense, patient name, provider name and address, and service date.
    2. Enter a payment request through the app or website, and Optum Financial will send the payment amount directly to your provider.
    3. Pay using personal funds, and then upload documentation through the app or website to request a reimbursement. Once it is approved, Optum Financial will reimburse the money you paid.
      TIP: Set up direct deposit so you can receive funds faster!
