What is an HSA/FSA?
Think of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) as dedicated savings banks for your healthcare expenses, but even better because they’re completely tax-free.
These accounts allow you to set aside money from your payroll for common medical expenses like doctor visits, prescriptions, and essentials like sunscreen and band-aids.
Typically, your employer creates the account and does all the heavy lifting.
They automatically save the amount you select on your payslip before charging you taxes.
Not only can you spend this money tax-free (hello, savings!), but you may even be moved down a tax bracket because this money doesn’t count toward your taxable income.
There is a small detail you should know. If you have an FSA, you must use that money by December 31st or you will lose it! (Although there are exceptions for some plans, please check with your provider.)
If you’re worried about the deadline for using or losing your money, here’s some good news: HSA money is handled differently. Whatever you put there is yours, with no expiration date.
What can I spend my HSA/FSA money on?
Want to find out what you can actually buy with your HSA/FSA money? The list is much longer than you think!
So if you’re worried about using your FSA money before it expires, don’t worry because you have tons of options.
You can use your HSA/FSA funds for many everyday pharmacy items that you probably already purchase, such as: B. First aid supplies, shoe inserts, cold medicine for illness, acne treatments, feminine hygiene products and even contact lenses and breast pumps.
If they help treat or manage common health problems, they are usually approved.
Can nutritional supplements be purchased through an HSA or FSA?
There are some vitamins and supplements such as: B. prenatal vitamins, rehydration solutions and fiber laxatives, which are automatically eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement.

Why You May Be Eligible for a Certificate of Medical Necessity?
