My medical bills total higher than my HSA balance. Should I pay the remainder out of pocket, or is there a benefit to making a personal contribution to the HSA first?

In case more detail is necessary, my bills for recent medical work total around 1500 and I have only around 700 left in the HSA. I have no problem paying the rest just from my bank account but I wonder if there is an advantage to depositing that money into the HSA, then paying the bills off. I just don't know how the HSA really works. All the money currently in the HSA comes directly from my gross income. For reference I am in WA.
