Is First Aid Kit HSA/FSA Eligible?
Bandages, antiseptics, and wound care supplies are all standard eligible items.
How the rule applies
A first aid kit holds bandages, antiseptics and wound care supplies, all of which treat injuries. The IRS accepts ordinary first aid supplies as medical care.
What to keep for your records
Keep the receipt. A kit is easiest to claim as one item named first aid kit.
Watch out for
Kits that mix in outdoor gear such as tents or tools may be questioned. A plain medical kit is the safer choice.
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.
