Short answer: Yes—foot inserts (orthotics) can be paid for with HSA funds if they’re considered qualified medical expenses by the IRS.

Qualified medical expense and eligibility

If you're someone who deals with foot pain or discomfort, you may be wondering if you can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) to cover the cost of foot inserts. The good news is that foot inserts can be paid for using your HSA funds, as long as they are considered a qualified medical expense by the IRS.

It's important to note that not all foot care products may be eligible for HSA reimbursement. Before purchasing foot inserts or any other foot care products, it's recommended to check with your HSA provider or consult a tax professional to ensure they are considered qualified expenses.

If you're dealing with persistent foot pain, you might be relieved to know that foot inserts, also known as orthotics, can be covered by your HSA. These specially designed inserts provide essential support and can drastically improve your foot comfort and health.
