Good to know! Thank you! ✨❤️
Finished ours two days ago. We have to use ours at CVS because it’s instant coverage, otherwise we have to submit for reinbursement which takes months and that’s IF they approve it! We cleared CVS this year, we had $890 left to use!
Wow, Lisa! 🙌 Way to make the most of it—$890 well spent! 🛒 Thanks for sharing, and here’s to starting 2025 off stress-free with no FSA worries! 🎉💊
In the past I purchased a treadmill (needed for weight loss) and Sonicare toothbrushes. I just had to have a prescription for them.
Oh wow! Thanks for the heads up on what items were eligible for you with a prescription!
I just bought one of these last month—what a pity.
Huh, not sure why you would have a FSA , we have HSA and it doesn’t expire but rolls over and as far as we know all HSA’s do.
Hi there! They are similar but different. I did find these explanations if helpful! 🤗
“- An FSA is use-it-or-lose-it money for medical expenses each year, while an HSA is money you keep forever and can even save for retirement.”
– An FSA helps pay for health costs now, but an HSA lets you save and grow money for future medical expenses.
– With an FSA you must spend the money within the year, but with an HSA the money is yours to keep and rolls over.
– FSAs are short-term healthcare savings, while HSAs are long-term and stay with you even if you change jobs.”
Not to mention we have a HSA credit card that holds all our HSA funds, making it easy to use
