How Start Health Works

1

Know Before You Go

Knowing the cash price ahead of time helps you compare providers and make informed choices. Compare cash prices with Start Health’s reimbursement rates to find the best value. You can often get high-quality care at trusted, lower-cost providers.

2

See Any Provider

Start Health lets you see any doctor—no networks, no restrictions. Some providers may be more cash-pay friendly than others, so calling ahead for pricing is smart. Need help? We’re happy to point you to the right options.

3

Pay For Care

Tell your provider you're a self-pay patient on a reimbursement plan. Pay with your Start HSA Card or any method you prefer. Make sure to ask for an itemized bill—it’s required for reimbursement.

4

Submit an Expense

Create an expense in your Member Portal and upload a photo of your itemized bill within 90 days. Once approved, your reimbursement will go toward your deductible if it hasn’t been met. After that, reimbursements go directly to you. Preventive care reimburses to you even before the deductible.
