Great news! Compression stockings are indeed eligible for coverage under your Health Spending Account (HSA). Whether you're using them to manage swelling, improve circulation, or as part of post-surgical care, they fall under the category of "Durable Equipment - Elastic Support Hose" or "Support hose, compression stockings, to relieve swelling."
What You Need to Know
To ensure your compression stockings are eligible for reimbursement, you'll need to provide a prescription from a healthcare practitioner. This prescription should indicate the medical necessity of the stockings, such as for conditions like chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, or deep vein thrombosis prevention etc.
Is There a Limit to the Number of Pairs You Can Claim?
The great part is that there is no limit on the number of pairs you can claim, as long as you have enough balance in your HSA to cover the cost. Whether you need multiple pairs for daily use or replacements over time, your HSA has you covered!
Why Use Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings offer numerous health benefits, including:
Reducing leg swelling and fatigue
Preventing blood clots, especially during long travel or post-surgery
Managing varicose veins and improving blood circulation
