FAQs

• What is an FSA and HSA, and how do they work? An FSA and HSA are savings accounts that you can use to pay for eligible medical expenses with pre-tax dollars. The main difference is that an FSA is use-it-or-lose-it, meaning you have to use the funds by the end of the plan year or you lose them, while an HSA allows you to roll over funds from year to year.

• What kind of products are eligible for reimbursement through an FSA or HSA? Eligible products include things like bandages, first aid kits, medical equipment, and prescription medications. However, you can find FSA/HSA eligible products on Shop Home Med by looking for the badge that says "FSA/HSA Eligible." 

• How do I know if I need an LMN for a particular product? You can check with your plan guidelines or contact your healthcare provider to see if a particular product requires an LMN.
