With a HD insurance plan and an HSA, you can pay your out of pocket costs through whatever method you desire (or the hospital, dr, office) accepts and then reimburse your bank account with your HSA. Paying with tax free $ is better than paying with after tax $ in my simple opinion.

Potentially useless information: For those who live in NC, State employees credit union offers $500 VGCs for $1 ($2.50 by mail). T&C states no ATM or cash back though.

Potentially useless? No way - that fits the MO for many.

In hindsight, yes we should have just gotten married at City Hall right after it happen. (and likely would have if I had paid attention to how limited her insurance plan was)
Oh well, you live and learn.

Yes, as long as an MO can be bought. T&C doesn't specify, though it does say the card is not to be used for "non-financial money exchange establishments," whatever those are.
I'll give the card a try next week.

Good luck. And don't forget to write up that scenic trip to the CU on the Arrival Travel site to get gift cards or Arrival miles.
