Here are three things to know about the partnership:

1. Healthcare plan benefit cards, including health spending accounts and flexible spending cards, will  be available to use as a form of payment on the app to cover things like physician visits, over-the-counter items and healthy food. 

2. The benefits are expected to expand to Medicaid and commercial health plan beneficiaries. 

3. The app will record which goods and services are covered by the benefits card and charge it directly.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
