Abstract
A healthcare financial payment system and method are disclosed in which a debit card which may be used by a cardholder to pay for medical products and services is linked with a healthcare-related financial account associated with the cardholder as well as with a non-healthcare-related financial account belonging to the cardholder. The healthcare-related financial account associated with the cardholder may be a Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA), a Health Savings Account (HSA), or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), and the non-healthcare-related financial account associated with the cardholder may be a bank checking or savings account or a credit card. Any expenses for medical goods and services which are not covered by the cardholder's medical insurance may be paid from the cardholder's healthcare-related financial account if the medical goods or services are eligible and if there are funds remaining in the healthcare-related financial account, with any remaining costs being paid for from or charged to the cardholder's non-healthcare-related financial account.
