Keep reading to see if you qualify — and find out how to make the most of your HSA or FSA money with BODi.
What is an HSA/FSA?
Think of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) as special piggy banks for your medical expenses — but much better, because they’re completely tax-free.
These accounts allow you to set aside money from your paycheck for those everyday health expenses like doctor visits, prescriptions, and essentials like sunscreen and band-aids.
Your employer usually sets up the account and takes on all the heavy lifting. It will automatically deduct any amount you choose from your paycheck before taxes even begin.
Not only can you spend this money tax-free (hello, savings!), but you can even drop into a lower tax bracket, since the money doesn’t count toward your taxable income.
There’s a little catch to know: If you have an FSA, you’ll have to use that money by December 31st or it’s gone! (Although some plans have exceptions, so be sure to check with your provider.)
If you’re worried about the use-it-or-lose-it deadline, here’s good news: HSA money is different. Whatever you put in there is yours to keep, no expiration date in sight.
What can I spend my HSA/FSA dollars on?
Trying to figure out what you can actually buy with those HSA/FSA dollars? The list is much longer than you think! So if you’re worried about using your FSA money before it runs out, don’t worry—you have tons of options.
You can use your HSA/FSA funds for many everyday pharmacy items you probably already buy, like first aid, pads, cold medicine when you’re feeling sick, acne treatments, feminine hygiene, and even contact lenses and breast pumps.
If they help treat or resolve common health problems, they usually make the cut.
Are HSA and FSA Supplements Eligible?
There are some vitamins and supplements such as prenatal vitamins, rehydration solutions, and fiber laxatives that automatically qualify for HSA and FSA reimbursement. For all other supplements and vitamins, incl BODi supplementsyou will need a doctor’s approval first.
All you need to do is connect with our telehealth partner Truemed to see if you qualify. It’s very simple: just fill it out online questionnaire — video appointment is not required! — and if you’re eligible, you’ll get a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) to submit to your HSA/FSA along with your bills.
