If my divorce decree states that my ex-wife and I split the children's uninsured medical expenses 50/50. After insurance is processed, she pays the medical bills directly and submits a copy of the bill to me to reimburse her for 50%. Am I able to reimburse her with my HSA funds even though she directly paid the healthcare provider?

Qualified medical expenses. Qualified medical expenses are those expenses that generally would qualify for the medical and dental expenses deduction. These are explained in Pub. 502, Medical and Dental Expenses.
Also, non-prescription medicines (other than insulin) aren’t considered qualified medical expenses for HSA purposes. A medicine or drug will be a qualified medical expense for HSA purposes only if the medicine or drug:Requires a prescription,
Is available without a prescription (an over-the-counter medicine or drug) and you get a prescription for it, or
Is insulin.
You and your spouse.
All dependents you claim on your tax return.
Any person you could have claimed as a dependent on your return except that:
The person filed a joint return,
The person had gross income of $4,050 or more, or
You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2016 return.
