When you shop at FSA Store, it quickly becomes clear you can buy a lot of products with Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). FSAs can be used to purchase many things, from bandages and allergy relief, to contact lenses and prescription sunglasses. But, did you know that you can also use your FSA to shop for some tech-forward items that can help you care for and keep track of your health?
That's exactly where the Surprisingly Eligible category comes in at FSA Store. Let's explore some of the most popular (and unexpected) tech products you can get with your FSA.
1. Blood Pressure Monitors
It may not be something we think about much, but it's suggested that people get blood pressure checkups at least every two years, depending on what your doctor recommends, per WebMD. You can easily measure blood pressure at home, which is especially important if you have high blood pressure. And note: WebMD cautions to avoid caffeine, cigarettes, and exercise for at least 30 minutes prior to the test.
2. Thermometers
Thermometers come in handy when fever strikes. You can buy a variety of accurate, hi-tech thermometers with your Flexible Spending Account to monitor yourself and your family during cold and flu season. Accurate results mean you can diagnose, treat and get better faster.
3. Pain-relieving massage guns
Muscle aches and pains are a fact of life, no matter how active you are. Massage guns dig deep to send waves of healing vibrations through muscles to soothe soreness, relieve chronic pain, and accelerate muscle recovery. Some have add-ons like heat, multiple speed settings, and more.
4. Other pain relief devices
Need more specialized relief? From migraine relievers and vibrating foam rollers to air compression cuffs and hand massagers, targeted relief is available from a variety of FSA eligible healthcare finds just a click away.
5. Diagnostic devices
If you want to dig deeper into your personal health stats, there are plenty of diagnostic devices for your wellness journey, too. For example, full-body analysis scales that measure everything from weight and body fat to body mass index and basal metabolic rate. Or personal EKGs for in-depth heart data. There are food sensitivity tests, fertility tests, oximeters, and so much more.
6. Baby health monitors
Keep the littlest members of your family healthy and safe with a variety of FSA eligible tech essentials. Sock monitors can track your baby’s breathing while they sleep, cameras and monitors let you keep them in sight, and fetal dopplers inform on heart rates before they’re even born.
7. Personal care devices
And then there are the things that you might not have known you needed — think powered ear cleaners for keeping wax at bay, light therapy panels for acne treatment, wristbands to relieve hot flashes, and devices to boost gum health. You can save on all of these when you use pre-tax FSA dollars to pay for them. So start exploring!
