From custom insoles, to weight loss meds, to allergy relief & more, get these top FSA eligible products & services — directly from the experts.

“FSA eligible” refers to a product or service that will (likely) be covered by your Flexible Spending Account (FSA). The IRS determines FSA eligibility by defining “qualified medical expenses” as covered expenses for medical and dental care. Check out IRS Publication 502 or our FSA eligibility list to understand what is covered.

In order for something to be considered a “qualified” medical expense, it must be for the primary purpose of diagnosing, treating, curing, mitigating, or preventing a medical condition. Cosmetic expenses or anything benefiting general health or personal hygiene (such as gym memberships, vitamins, or toothpaste) are excluded from qualified expenses.

HSAs are accounts that allow people with qualified high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) to save for future medical expenses.

HSA is great because it can be invested like a standard retirement account, to grow your savings over time. The more love you put in, the better it gets for the future. And with healthcare costs rising well ahead of the pace, every investment advantage can help — especially one with a killer tax advantage. So, why do so many HSA owners choose to limit themselves and the potential their money could offer by not maximizing these savings through sound investment strategies? Let’s take a quick look at how your HSA can become a nest egg like no other.
