Before Year-End, Explore These Editor-Tested Wellness Finds You Can Buy With FSA Funds
Use FSA Funds Before Reset
FSA balances reset at the end of each year, so money left unused is lost. Health savings account (HSA) funds typically roll over, according to the story. FSA dollars can cover more than doctor visit co-pays and prescription refills. The products described include a range of wellness and at-home health essentials.
Wellness Products To Consider
The featured editor-tested finds include humidifiers, massage guns, fitness technology, sleep essentials and skincare. Some of these eligible items may be unexpected. For shoppers with only a few dollars remaining, the story suggests smaller essentials such as lip balm, sunscreen and first aid supplies. It also notes that pre-tax funds can stretch further on bigger purchases.
Compare Prices Before Buying
The FSA Store is presented as a convenient place to browse eligible items in one location. However, the story cautions that many prices there are marked up. It recommends considering other online retailers with dedicated FSA- and HSA-eligible storefronts when shopping.
