At myHSA, we recognize the importance of maintaining physical health and fitness. To help you achieve your fitness goals, you may be able to get coverage for fitness equipment through your Wellness Spending Account (WSA). Here’s how you can take advantage of this benefit.
Eligibility for Fitness Equipment
Fitness equipment expenses are eligible for reimbursement under your WSA if your plan includes the category "Fitness Equipment (Taxable)." This means you can claim the costs associated with purchasing equipment to use at home or at a fitness facility.
What’s Covered?
Under the "Fitness Equipment (Taxable)" category, you can claim expenses for:
Cardio Machines: Treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, and rowing machines.
Strength Training Equipment: Dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, weight benches, and resistance bands.
Yoga and Pilates Gear: Mats, blocks, straps, and reformers.
Flexibility and Balance Equipment: Stability balls, balance boards, and foam rollers.
Other Fitness Accessories: Jump ropes, exercise balls, and fitness trackers.
Fitness Clothing and Apparel: Includes items such as workout clothes, shoes, and gloves, enhancing support for various fitness activities.
Claiming When WSA Balance Is Insufficient
If the cost of a fitness item exceeds your available WSA balance, you can submit a partial claim for the amount available in your account. The remaining balance must then be paid out-of-pocket. Specify the claim amount as your available WSA balance when submitting this type of claim.
Ensure that your WSA includes the "Fitness Equipment (Taxable)" category. If you’re unsure, our support team can help you verify your plan details. For plans without detailed itemized categories, maintain receipts for purchases or contact customer support to confirm eligibility. Account reviews can help resolve discrepancies or clarify eligible expenses.
Item Eligibility Checking Process
If your WSA plan doesn’t display eligible items explicitly (e.g., treadmills or fitness trackers), consult customer support or request an account review to ensure the items are claimable under your plan.
