Is Blood Pressure Monitor HSA/FSA Eligible?
Home diagnostic equipment for monitoring a medical condition is a standard eligible expense.
How the rule applies
A home blood pressure monitor is a diagnostic device used to track a medical condition. Equipment like this has long been treated as medical care under IRS Publication 502.
What to keep for your records
Keep the receipt. No letter is needed in most plans, because the device is clearly medical.
Watch out for
Buy a monitor sold as a medical device. A smartwatch that also reads blood pressure is usually treated as a general wellness product and may be rejected.
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.
