Using Your Health Savings Account or Flex Plan for Braces!
October 4th, 2021
As Fall approaches we get a lot of people asking if they can use their HSA / FSA account for orthodontic treatment at Holt Orthodontics. The short answer is yes . . . so get on your way to a better smile!
What is an HSA or FSA account?
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), often offered by your employer, allow you to set aside money for qualifying health care expenses for yourself, your spouse and eligible dependents.
Can I use my HSA or FSA for orthodontic treatment?
In most cases, yes, you can use your HSA or FSA for eligible orthodontic treatment. Only the portion of your orthodontic payments(s) not paid by your dental insurance or any other plan may be considered an eligible expense.
How can my HSA or FSA help save me money?
HSA and FSAs are types of savings account that let you set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses. By using untaxed dollars in an HSA or FSA to pay for your orthodontic treatment, you save money.
Contact your HSA or FSA provider or your HR specialist for specific details.
