Can I pay for Summer Health with my HSA or FSA?

Customers can use their FSA or HSA to pay for "pay-per-visit" services only. We are unable to accept FSA or HSA for monthly or annual unlimited member billing.

What will copays be?

We won’t know the amount of your co-pay until we submit your first claim but it’s generally the same as what a regular doctor’s visit co-pay would be.
