What payment methods does Rupa Health accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA or FSA cards. Bank transfers are also available. We also offer 3-month interest-free financing plans through the payment platform Splitit!

What payment methods can I use for the payment plan option?

SplitIt only accepts Visa and MasterCard credit cards. They are unable to process payments using debit/bank cards (including debit/credit hybrid cards), as well as HSA and FSA cards. SplitIt will also need to verify that funds for the total amount is available at the time of purchase in order to initiate the first installment. After you pay the first installment of, your test kits will be shipped!


Can I use insurance for my lab tests?

Rupa Health accepts payments for lab tests, but we can not submit insurance claims or reach out to your insurance carrier directly.

You can pay for tests using one of the methods above, an HSA (Health Savings Account) card, or an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) card. You can also pursue insurance coverage retroactively through your insurance company by submitting your Rupa Health invoice receipt. You may need to provide a Superbill receipt for your insurance claim. Only your insurance company can directly confirm what you will need to submit, so we can recommend calling them directly!

If you need a Superbill receipt to submit a claim to insurance, you can view our printable PDF here: Rupa Health: Submitting your Receipt to Insurance.

Rupa only supports direct insurance ordering for Diagnostic Solutions stool tests. These tests can be billed through Medicare if your practitioner selects this option while creating the order.


How can I use an HSA or FSA card to pay for testing?

You can put your HSA or FSA card number right on the payment page.

Note that some HSA/FSA providers have strict requirements on what vendors they accept. For this reason, it's possible that your card will fail even though lab testing through Rupa is HSA-eligible. If this happens, you can reach out to your HSA or FSA provider and see if you can submit your Rupa receipt retroactively to them.


Can I get a Superbill or a receipt to submit to my insurance?

We provide an itemized receipt for lab tests paid through Rupa Health. To submit this to your insurance, you'll also need ICD-10 diagnosis codes from your provider and CPT procedural codes for your labs. Our team is happy to help you with getting these codes! Reach out to us by logging into your Patient Portal.

You can find more information on the Superbill process, including a template to use, in the article HERE.
