It’s hard to believe that fall is here and we’re well on our way to holiday season. It signals that the end of the year is fast approaching and that means that the deadline to spend the funds in your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) is fast approaching. Many plans rollover until the next year, but others have a use it or lose it clause. To avoid losing your ability to utilize funds that are rightfully yours, it’s important to find out which kind of plan you have.
What are FSAs and HSAs?
As insurance deductibles ballooned in the early part of the millennium, many people found themselves hamstrung by medical debt, even if they had insurance. Insurance companies were also getting stricter about what they would cover for what they believed were luxury procedures. Insurance premiums were also skyrocketing causing many to opt for higher deductible plans to decrease monthly payments which sometimes got them into trouble if a costly emergency came up.
Using your HSA dollars or Flex Funds just became easier. If you’ve been recently injured, have chronic pain, always deal with sore and tired muscles or want another way to relax your muscles, it’s time you learn about how you can spend your HSA ( (Health Savings Account) before you lose it. For many plans, December 31, 2017, will be the last day you may be eligible to use your HSA or Flex Funds for a new TENS machine or unit. Pain relief should be easy and if you have an HSA or remaining Flex Funds, it’s time you take advantage of it before it’s too late! Here’s a list of some of the most popular TENS unit which can be purchased with remaining HSA or Flex Funds dollars.
