Frequently asked questions

Is Hearing Aids FSA or HRA eligible too?

Yes. FSA and HRA eligibility follow the same IRS Publication 502 rules as HSAs, so Hearing Aids is generally reimbursable through a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or HRA too. Some employer plans limit covered expenses, so confirm with your plan administrator.

Can I use my HSA debit card to pay for Hearing Aids?

Yes. Pay with your HSA debit card at the point of sale, or pay out-of-pocket and reimburse yourself. Always keep your itemized receipt.

Do I need to keep a receipt for Hearing Aids?

Yes — for every HSA withdrawal the IRS requires documentation proving the expense was qualified. Keep itemized receipts for at least 3 years after the tax year.

Can I reimburse myself years later for Hearing Aids?

Yes — the IRS imposes no time limit on HSA reimbursements. As long as the expense was incurred after your HSA was established and you have documentation, you can reimburse yourself years or even decades later.
