Yes, hearing aids and related expenses can typically be paid for with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
The IRS has approved hearing aids, including over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids such as those from MDHearing, as a qualified medical expense under both FSAs and HSAs. This includes the cost of the hearing aids themselves, as well as required supplementary costs such as hearing aid batteries, repairs, and maintenance accessories (tubing, domes, wax guards, etc.).
However, it's a good idea to confirm with your insurance company beforehand to ensure there are no specific rules or limitations, and to verify that your plan will reimburse for OTC hearing aids.
How can I use my FSA/HSA account to buy hearing aids?
If you have an FSA or HSA card, you can pay for the hearing aids the same way you would with a credit card. Hearing aids are reimbursed in the same way as any other covered medical expense, such as medications or eyeglasses.
