What Can You Use HSA For?

If you’re among the millions of Americans with a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you know how valuable these tools can be for managing out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. But did you know that your HSA and FSA benefits can be used for more than just co-pays and prescriptions? Let’s dive into some of the eligible expenses and highlight a few surprising items—including select products from Thorne—that you can reimburse with your HSA or FSA.
