Here are some of the common items you can purchase at a pharmacy with your HSA:

  • Prescription medications
  • Over-the-counter medications, like pain relievers, antacids, and allergy medications

  • Medical equipment, such as blood pressure monitors and diabetic testing supplies
  • Eyeglasses and contact lenses

Need to confirm HSA-eligible purchases

These are just a few examples of the many items you can buy at a pharmacy with your HSA. It's important to note that not all items qualify for HSA funds, so it's always a good idea to check with your HSA provider or refer to the IRS guidelines to ensure you're making eligible purchases.

With a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can buy a variety of items at a pharmacy, making it a smart way to manage your healthcare expenses while saving tax dollars.
