Account-based benefits like HSAs and FSAs can be used to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses, including many that aren’t typically covered by health insurance plans. This can include deductibles, prescriptions, dental and vision care, co-insurance, and more. For a complete list of qualified medical expenses, contact your benefits administrator.
