Blood work can be a crucial part of maintaining your health, and we're here to ensure you understand how it fits into your Health Spending Account (HSA). Blood work is eligible for reimbursement under an HSA, provided you meet specific requirements.
Requirements for Blood Work Claims
To ensure your blood work claim is processed smoothly, please ensure the following:
Requisition or Prescription:
You must have a requisition or prescription for the blood work. This document should be included in your claim. Sometimes the results even show the requesting doctor on them. As long as we can see that it was requested by a Medical Practitioner, it is eligible!
Receipt Details:
Patient's Name: The receipt must clearly show the name of the patient who received the blood work.
Practitioner Name and Credentials: The name and credentials of the practitioner who ordered the blood work must be listed.
Date of Service: The date when the blood work was performed should be indicated.
Services Provided: A list of the services provided during the blood work.
Proof of Payment: The receipt must show that payment has been made.
What if I forget to include the requisition or prescription?
Your claim may be delayed or denied. Always ensure you include these documents for a smooth process.
Can I submit a claim for blood work done without a requisition or prescription?
No, unfortunately as per the CRA, a requisition or prescription is mandatory for blood work claims to be eligible under an HSA.
What if my receipt does not include all required details?
Contact the provider to obtain a detailed receipt that meets all the listed requirements.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your blood work claims are processed efficiently, allowing you to focus on your health and well-being.
