The Difference Card is an employer funded benefit that works alongside your medical insurance plan. It may help offset portions of your copays, deductibles, and coinsurance depending on your plan design with your health insurance benefits.

If your plan design allows it, you can swipe your Difference Card at your doctor’s office for medical copays. You may also be able to use your Difference Card to pay for prescriptions at the pharmacy. Depending on the benefits your employer offers, you may also be able to use your Difference Card to utilize your FSA, HSA, HRA or Transit funds. Check your Difference Card Summary of Benefits for details specific to your plan design and the benefits that are swipe-able on your card.

If you don’t have your Difference Card with you or if your doctor doesn’t accept credit cards, and your Difference Card plan covers copays, pay the entire copay then submit a claim for processing.The Difference Card will reimburse you for your benefit amount being funded by your employer.
