Orthopaedic footwear can be a crucial part of managing various medical conditions, providing the necessary support and alignment for your feet. If you have a prescription for orthopaedic footwear, here’s what you need to know about claiming these expenses under your Health Spending Account (HSA).
Prescription Requirement
To be eligible for reimbursement, orthopaedic footwear must be accompanied by a valid prescription. The prescription ensures that the footwear or inserts are medically necessary and tailored to your specific needs.
Matching the Prescription
It's important that the orthopaedic footwear you purchase matches the type specified in your prescription. Whether it's insoles, custom shoes, or other specific types of orthopaedic support, the items must align exactly with what is prescribed by your healthcare provider. For example, if your prescription states "Timberland Chelsea Boot", the item you purchase must match exactly. If it states "Dr Scholls Insert" that is what you must purchase.
Multiple Pairs and HSA Balance
You are not limited to purchasing just one pair of orthopaedic footwear. As long as each pair meets the criteria specified in your prescription, you can purchase multiple pairs. These expenses are eligible for reimbursement up to the available balance in your Health Spending Account.
