HSA Eligibility for Shingles Vaccine
​

Good news! The shingles vaccine is generally eligible for HSA reimbursement, provided it meets certain criteria:

  1. Medical Necessity: The shingles vaccine must be either:

    • Prescribed or requested by a medical practitioner, or

    • Administered by a pharmacist or medical practitioner
      ​

  2. Proper Documentation: Your service receipt should include:

    • Patient's name

    • Date of service

    • Practitioner's name and credentials

    • List of services and their charges

    • Proof of payment

Important Caveat: Always double-check your specific plan details on your dashboard to confirm shingles vaccine eligibility. HSA plans may vary, and it's crucial to verify your coverage and the list of covered items. The category for any Vaccine is "Medicines - Vaccine"
