If you’d rather shop in person, most stores that sell FSA-eligi- ble items will let you swipe your FSA card first at checkout, and those items will automatically be paid for that way. If you for- get to bring your FSA card, save the receipt and contact your plan administrator about getting re- imbursed. Each year, workers collectively leave as much as $400 million sitting on the table when they don’t spend their entire FSA. Here are some ideas to make sure you don’t become one of them. Fun in the sun Do you have any exciting travel plans in 2023? Start pack- ing. Sunscreen, motion sickness medication and bands, massag- ing gel shoe inserts, compres- sion socks for long flights, new prescription sunglasses and con- tacts, and a first-aid kit for your car or suitcase are all FSA-eligi- ble expenses. Up your skin-care game Acne prevention and treat- ments (including face and body washes), spot treatments, patches and a light therapy tool can all be bought with your FSA. Sunscreen and toner, too — and even some tinted lip balms with SPF. Have a baby Fertility monitoring tests and devices, pregnancy tests, prena- tal vitamins, breast pumps and related pumping and breastfeed- ing supplies, baby monitors and many postpartum care items qualify. Sadly, diapers do not, though toddler training pants and night- time underwear do. Avoid having a baby Condoms and emergency contraception can be purchased with your FSA. Emergency con- traception doesn’t expire for a few years, so it never hurts to have some on hand, especially after the surge in demand ear- lier this year. Contraceptives like birth control pills are FSA-eligi- ble with a prescription. On a related note, menstrual care items can also be purchased with your FSA, thanks to the 2020 CARES Act. So can a heat- ing pad. Buy gifts Hit up a friend’s baby shower registry for things like an Owlet sock, or give your fanciest friend a skincare bundle or tinted lip balm with SPF. An ancestry DNA kit with a health report? Yup, covered — though whether you should do that kind of con- sumer genetic testing in the first place is debatable. If you wanted to treat some- one (or yourself) to a self-care gift such as acne light therapy, a massaging device, an acupres- sure cushion or a set of yoga wheels, now’s the time. No need to mention how you paid for any of it. Prepare for the ‘triple-demic’ OK, this one isn’t quite as fun. But when you’re sick, the last thing you want to do is haul yourself out to the store for pain- killers, cough medicine, a steam inhaler or a humidifier, a ther- mometer and some electrolyte powder. Buy that stuff ahead of time — though you should avoid stock- piling kids’ medicines right now, while short supplies are making life difficult for the children who really need them. KN95 masks and home COVID tests are also eligible, and you’ll definitely want those on hand during the COVID-flu- RSV “triple-demic” this winter.
