Forgive me but I'm still completely lost on this.. IF this is a true HSA account, there are no deducibles or out of pocket. An HSA is a Health savings account it is NOT an insurance policy. I'm completely stumped on why an HSA would be PRIMARY to medicare.

Are you saying the patient has BCBS primary ...THEN they have an HSA and then Medicare? If so then the HSA is the payor of last resort because they are the Health savings acct.. NOT an insurance policy.

Ah ok... Now I understand. Your original post indicated:
--- Quote ---We have a patient who has BCBS as Primary Insurance as a HSA plan.
