Aaron Asset:HSA is your savings fund. The payment of money into that account is exactly as you priginally proposed.
The 4 way split > Asset:Medical Reimbursable $5 > Liability:Credit Card $5 > Expenses:Medical $5 > Asset:HSA $5 records 2 simultaneous events. It makes a bit more sense when you consider the two events separately Firstly your payment of the medical expense with your credit card : Expenses:Medical $5 Liability:Credit Card $5 and the creation of an obligation to reimburse the expenditure to your bank account from your HSA account: Asset:Medical Reimbursable $5 this account tracks what you have to reimburse to your bank account Asset:HSA $5 And when you actually reimbuse money > Asset:Bank $5 > Asset:MedicalReimbursable $5 If the balance of Asset:MedicalReimbursable is not 0 then you have expenses you have incurred but not reimbursed from the HSA. This is exactly the same as the way Asset:Account Receivable works when you extend credit to a customer in a business environment with the business features. In this case the HSA is effectively the customer, who owes you money.
