Flexible spending accounts provide a fantastic way to cover your expected medical expenses tax-free, but they come with a big catch — you (mostly) have to use the money you’ve saved for treatments, deductibles, copayments, prescription medicine or health-related items by the end of the year, or you can lose it forever.
If you’re running into the end of 2024 with a big FSA balance, don’t fret. A long list of items and health services are FSA eligible, including several you may not have considered, like batteries for medical devices, earplugs, yoga mats or sunscreen.Â
Read on to see all the ways you can spend your FSA money before the end of 2024, and learn about whether you can roll any of your FSA money into 2025. For more, learn about changes to Medicare for 2025Â and how to set realistic fitness goals for the new year.
The time for spending your FSA money is quickly running out.
What are flexible spending accounts, or FSAs?
Flexible spending accounts, also called flexible spending arrangements, are a type of “cafeteria plan” from employers that allow people to use tax-free contributions from their paychecks for specific expenses. There are several types of FSAs, but the most common are health FSAs, which participants can use to pay for medical and dental costs that aren’t covered by insurance.
With an FSA, you’ll decide how much you want to contribute at the beginning of the year, and your employer will deduct a portion of it from every paycheck.
The maximum amount an employee can contribute to an FSA is $3,200 for 2023 and $3,300 for 2025. Employers might provide additional funds to FSAs as a benefit, but those funds do not impact the employee contribution limit.
Traditionally, employees with FSAs file claims with their employers to receive reimbursement for eligible expenses. Some companies now issue a debit card with FSAs so that plan participants can make purchases directly from their accounts.
Can I roll over any of the money in my FSA account to 2025?
Most FSAs follow a “use it or lose it” system where unused funds at the end of the year revert to your employer, with two possible exceptions. Changes to FSA laws in 2021 allowed companies the option of giving employees either:
- A 2.5-month grace period (or until March 15, 2025) to spend your FSA money
- The option to roll over $640 of your FSA money from 2024 to your 2025 account
If your employer does let you carry over money from 2024 to 2025, that amount does not change your yearly contribution limit, which is $3,300 in 2025.Â
Employers are not required to provide either FSA continuation option to their employees. Every company has its own FSA rules, so check with your FSA plan administrator or human resources department for the exact details of your plan.
What can I spend my FSA money on?
Medical treatment such as doctor and emergency room visits, insurance deductibles and copayments, and prescription medicines are fair game. But there is also a long list of approved products and services that are eligible for FSA coverage.
While some FSA items are automatically eligible for everyone, other products and services require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from a licensed physician. The following list of FSA-eligible products is not exhaustive, but it covers all of the major categories of medical and dental care that can be paid for with FSA money:
Over-the-counter medicine: OTC medications were not FSA eligible until the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in 2020. Now, cold, flu and allergy medications, pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, motion sickness pills, glucosamine sulfate for joint pain and other OTC medicine all qualify for FSA claims. First-aid kits and supplies like adhesive bandages and antibiotics are also eligible.
The IRS added COVID-19 protections like face masks to the FSA eligibility list in 2021.
COVID-19: COVID-related products such as face masks, at-home tests and hand sanitizer qualify for FSA reimbursement.
Dental procedures and products: Your dentures, implants, bridges and sealants are all covered by FSA, as are dental reconstruction and wisdom teeth removal. FSA funds usually cover orthodontia, including Invisalign. Veneers require an LMN from a dentist.
Vision: Not only can you use your FSA funds for prescription eyeglasses and prescription sunglasses, you can also use them for non-prescription reading glasses or blue-blocker glasses. Similarly, contact lenses and supplies, including cleaning solution and lens cases, are eligible for FSA coverage, as are cataract and laser eye surgery.
Hearing: Your FSA money can be used for hearing aids, as well as batteries and maintenance for those aids. Telephones for the hearing impaired are also covered, as are products like ear cleaners and wax removers.
Breathing: Respiratory products such as nasal spray, inhalers and vaporizers are eligible for FSA coverage. With an LMN from a doctor, air conditioning, air filters and air purifiers can all be eligible for reimbursement.
Sleep:Along with OTC sleep medications, your FSA money can also be used for CPAP machines for sleep apnea and mouth guards to prevent teeth grinding. Prescription sleep medicine is also included. Items such as pillows with lumbar support or melatonin can be covered with an LMN from a doctor.
Preventive screenings: Tests evaluating your health can be paid for with FSA money. Eligible screenings include DNA testing, heart scans, cancer screening, diabetes screening, HPV and HIV screening, breast cancer mammography screening and CT scans, and any blood tests that aren’t covered by insurance.
Pregnancy and sexual health: Most pregnancy-related items and services are eligible for FSA funding, including pregnancy tests, prenatal vitamins, infertility treatments, intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization. Also covered: costs related to egg donors, surrogates, and egg and embryo storage. Men can use FSA funds on vasectomy reversal and medication for erectile dysfunction.
Babies: FSA funds cover many newborn-related expenses, including breast pumps, lactation consultants, breastfeeding classes, breast milk storage bags, diaper rash ointment, children’s sunscreen and baby breathing monitors. Infant formula can qualify, but only with an LMN from a doctor.
Contraception: FSA funds can help prevent unwanted pregnancies as well. Birth control pills, tubal ligation, vasectomies and condoms are all eligible. Levonorgestrel-based “morning-after pills” like Plan B One-Step or Take Action are eligible for FSA funding, as are all legal abortion procedures, including RU-486 pills (mifepristone).
Menstruation: Pads, tampons, period underwear, pain relievers and other menstrual supplies all qualify as FSA expenses.
Medical equipment: Most products for measuring health are eligible for FSA money. Examples are thermometers, blood pressure monitors, blood sugar test kits and pulse oximeters.
Batteries: Along with the medical equipment itself, if you use batteries to power medical devices, they are FSA eligible.
Mental health: You can use FSA money for mental health treatments and services, including therapy and counseling in person or online. Visits to psychologists or psychiatrists are eligible, as are psychiatric care and prescription medicine. Unfortunately, marriage and couples counseling are not eligible for FSA reimbursement.
Addiction: FSAs can cover smoking cessation treatments and products to help stop smoking, like nicotine gum or patches. They can also cover donations to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and the cost of transportation to attend, as well as other substance abuse programs and treatment for gambling addiction. An LMN is required to cover the cost of staying at a halfway house.
Weight loss: Weight-loss programs are eligible for FSA coverage, as are gastric bypass or lap-band surgeries. Prescription drugs for weight loss are also eligible.
Yoga mats and classes can be paid for with an FSA, but only with a letter from a doctor.
Physical fitness: Most fitness expenses aren’t eligible for FSA coverage unless they are prescribed by a physician with an LMN. These expenses, if doctor recommended, can include personal trainers, gym memberships and yoga classes.
Athletic protection: If you’re looking to keep yourself safe and healthy during athletic activity, your FSA funds will cover many items, including athletic tape, braces and bandages, cups, face masks and mouth guards.
Muscle therapy: Most physical therapy is eligible for FSA funding, including massage devices at home. You can also use your FSA money for carpal tunnel supports, back braces or heating and cooling pads.
Foot care: Even though you can’t use FSA funds for athletic shoes (no matter how orthopedic) you can still use FSA money for healthy feet. Foot care products such as supports for high or low arches and corn removers are some of the items eligible for coverage.
Transportation: FSA money can be used to pay for travel expenses related to medical care or advice, including airplane tickets, gas, mileage and maintenance costs, parking, bus or train fares and lodging.
Alternative medicine: A few nontraditional medical products and practices are eligible for FSA funding, including acupuncture, chiropractic services, homeopathy and holistic medicine.
Health-related home improvements: If you need to change your living situation to account for an injury or medical situation, your FSA money should be eligible for most of it, including wheelchair ramps, grab bars, wider doorways, lower kitchen cabinets or counters, and home elevators,Â
Mobility: For help getting around, FSA money can cover many products, including scooters, wheelchairs, crutches, canes and artificial limbs. Modifications to vehicles can also be eligible for FSA reimbursement with an LMN from a doctor.
Where can I buy products eligible for FSA spending?
You can purchase FSA-eligible products and services anywhere, as long as those products qualify for reimbursement. Many major online retailers have created FSA-eligible sections that include products that can be bought with FSA funds.Â
Amazon, CVS, Target, Walgreens and Walmart all have their own FSA/HSA storefronts to make it easy to find qualifying products. You can also hook up your FSA or HSA card at Instacart for deliveries.
Walmart breaks down its FSA-eligible items into multiple collections to make finding products easy. You can shop by product category, type of care or brand name, and the FSA store also includes a list of top-selling products.
Amazon’s dedicated store for FSA and HSA accounts includes sections broken out by categories of products. The site also includes a Learning Center with useful info about spending accounts and the option to add a dedicated FSA or HSA card to your Amazon account.
Pharmacy chain Walgreens groups FSA-eligible products into categories like other FSA stores, but it also throws in a bonus for year-end FSA spenders. From now until Dec. 31, 2023, you can get FSA-eligible items at a 25% discount — simply enter the code FSA25 at checkout (one use per order; three uses per account).
Retail pharmacy chain CVS maintains a bountiful collection of FSA-eligible products, many of which are deliverable same-day. You can shop products by category or learn more about FSA or HSA accounts in a dedicated FAQ.
Target is packed with nearly 3,000 FSA-eligible items, and its website makes it simple to find and order them with several unique search features. You can order products to be delivered or picked up at a local store.
Grocery delivery service Instacart brings FSA-eligible items from pharmacies or your local market straight to your home, working with major pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens, as well as 7-Eleven and most every other store in your area. You can mix non-eligible items with your FSA order, and new customers get their first three deliveries with no fee.
The Oura Ring is eligible for both FSA and HSA accounts. You can buy the ring from various retailers like Amazon or Target, or purchase it directly from Oura.
Therabody provides tons of technology products related to wellness and beauty that are eligible for FSA purchases.
