Can I use my Health Equity HSA to Pay for Glasses?

Having a Health Savings Account (HSA) through Health Equity provides you with a valuable tool to manage your healthcare expenses. But can you use your HSA to pay for glasses?

Yes, you can use your Health Equity HSA to pay for glasses, as long as they are prescribed by a qualified medical professional. Prescription eyeglasses, prescription sunglasses, and even prescription contact lenses are considered eligible expenses under the IRS guidelines for HSA funds.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Prescription glasses are considered a qualified medical expense under your HSA.
• You can use your HSA funds to purchase prescription eyewear for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents.
• Non-prescription eyewear, such as reading glasses without a prescription, are generally not eligible for HSA reimbursement.
• When using your HSA to pay for glasses, make sure to keep all receipts and documentation for tax purposes.

Using your Health Equity HSA to pay for glasses is a convenient way to take care of your vision needs while utilizing your pre-tax HSA funds. Whether you need new prescription glasses for everyday use or prescription sunglasses for outdoor activities, your HSA can help cover these expenses.

Did you know that your Health Savings Account (HSA) through Health Equity not only helps you save for medical expenses but can also be utilized for vision care? When it comes to glasses, the answer is a resounding yes!
