Get The Cash Rate
See a Preferred Provider
Start Health lets you see any doctor—no networks, no restrictions. While you’re free to choose, some providers are more cash-pay friendly than others. It’s smart to call around and ask for the cash price of the care you need and compare with Start’s reimbursement rates. Need help? We’re happy to point you in the right direction.
Compare Costs
Cash Rate vs. Start Rate
Start Health offers fixed benefit rates that provide more predictable costs in a healthcare system known for wide price variation. Members can easily search benefit rates in the member portal and compare them with provider cash prices to find the best value for care.
Start HSA
Pay for Care Tax-Free
Using your Start HSA Card when paying for care makes healthcare more affordable and convenient. You can pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free on the day of service, keeping more money in your pocket. Combined with the ability to search providers and compare prices, your HSA card helps you get the care you need while maximizing your savings.
Free Telemedicine
Skip the Wait Lines
Start Health members can access telemedicine services at no cost, making it easy to get care from home. Whether it’s a minor illness, a follow-up, or general health questions, telemedicine lets you avoid travel, skip wait times, and cut out-of-pocket costs—all while receiving quality care from licensed providers.
