Trustmark Sets Up HSA Lab Discount Program

In theory, holders of HRAs and HSAs can use account assets to pay for care from any doctor. One obstacle at some account-based programs has been lack of in-network access to the deep discounts on in-network lab services that members of conventional managed care plans usually enjoy.

Trustmark plan members will be able to show their medical identification cards to any doctor, and the doctors will be able to call LabOne to send couriers to collect the lab specimens, Trustmark says.

LabOne usually will report results to the doctors within 24 hours, Trustmark says.
