As the 2024 year draws to a close, it’s time to make the most of your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.\u00a0 I personally had to go deep diving on FSA purchase research because navigating the nuances can be tricky. FSA accounts are helpful because they offer tax advantages for qualified medical expenses. In general, you must use the money in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) within the plan year. However, your employer may offer a grace period or allow you to carry over funds. Alternatively, HSA can be used now, next year or even when you’re retired. So, let’s get into it – <\/b>Here are some smart things to buy with your FSA or HSA funds.<\/p>\n

Smart Health & Wellness FSA Funds Spending Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Prescription Medications:<\/strong> Stock up on any necessary medications.<\/li>\n
  • Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications:<\/strong> Purchase pain relievers, allergy medications, cold and flu remedies, and more.<\/li>\n
  • Medical Supplies:<\/strong> Consider buying bandages, first aid kits, thermometers, or blood pressure monitors.<\/li>\n

    RECOMENDED: Hume Health Smart Body Pod<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Body composition scales (or bioimpendance scales) are considered to be medical devices and are HSA\/FSA eligible expenses<\/span><\/b>, unlike regular digital scales<\/p>\n

    The Hume Health Smart Body Pod<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>is the ideal smart scale as it reads over 56 different metrics in the body and has a 98% accuracy to that of a DEXA scan (which is the gold standard!)<\/strong>\u00a0Weight is really just a meaningless number without the full picture and this smart scale ‘scans’ the body and gives you readings such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone density, hydration level, body salt content, and SO much more. You can even see how much muscle and fat you have per APPENDAGE!<\/p>\n
