\n- Over-the-counter (OTC) products like Mighty Well’s PICCPerfect\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, Self Care Case<\/a>, Fluid Motion Backpack<\/a>, and Masks<\/a><\/li>\n
- Medical testing<\/li>\n
- Copayments<\/li>\n
- Deductibles<\/li>\n
- Prescription drugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nHSA vs. FSA: What’s the difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\nHSA: Healthcare Savings Accounts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- This is a tax-advantaged account to be used only for healthcare expenses<\/li>\n
- It can be rolled over in its entirety from year to year. Applicants must have a high-deductible health plan that covers at least $1,400 for individuals and $2,800 for families<\/li>\n
- Enrollment in an HSA is done via an employer or private insurance<\/li>\n
- You can contribute to a health savings account with pre-tax dollars, which reduces your taxable income<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
FSA: Flexible Spending Accounts <\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Similar to HSA, but less flexible<\/li>\n
- This is only offered as an employee benefit, and it doesn’t come with you when you change jobs <\/li>\n
- The IRS has set a $3,650 maximum contribution to an individual FSA and a $7,300 maximum contribution to a family HSA for 2022<\/li>\n
- This is the more common type of account<\/li>\n
- Younger, healthier people tend to be more conservative about their FSA allotment than people with chronic conditions that require ongoing treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Do I Lose my FSAs Dollars At the End of Each Year?<\/strong><\/p>\nUnfortunately, Yes.<\/strong> Different from HSAs, unused balances in FSA accounts don’t usually roll over into the following year. You will forfeit any unused funds unless offered a grace period or your employer’s FSA plan explicitly allows a rollover. Just know the IRS limits this rollover to $570. For this reason, it is essential to consider how you contribute to an FSA based on your estimated medical expenses.<\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nWhat does an FSA\/HSA cover exactly? <\/strong><\/h2>\nThere are subtle differences between individual plans for each FSA and HSA account. Frequent uses of the account are out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision expenses, including deductibles, copays, and prescription medication. They also cover any number of OTC medicines, devices, and products, including several products from Mighty Well<\/a>. Insurance premiums are not covered by FSA\/HSA accounts.<\/p>\nUse your FSA or HSA card mightywell.com<\/a> to take advantage of your benefits!<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLiving with illness and disability can be isolating.
