Are Adult Incontinence Products HSA/FSA Eligible?
Treats a diagnosed condition, unlike regular baby diapers bought for a child with no medical condition.
How the rule applies
Adult incontinence products manage a diagnosed medical condition, and the cost is medical care. Pads, briefs and protective underwear qualify.
What to keep for your records
Keep the receipt. A doctor's note is not usually required, but ask your plan if you are buying large amounts.
Watch out for
Baby diapers are not covered the same way, since they are a normal part of infant care. Skin barrier creams made for incontinence can be eligible as drugs.
Where to buy it HSA/FSA-eligible
Pay with your HSA or FSA card directly, or buy elsewhere and save the receipt to submit for reimbursement.
