Vitamins/Protein Powder and HSA
My insurance changed as of 1/1 and I now have a HSA. I am trying to get info on if I can use HSA funds to pay for my protein powder and vitamins. What I am finding so far is that nutritional supplements cannot be paid for with these funds, but since this is now a medically necessary thing to do lifelong, there has to be a way. Does anyone else use HSA funds for these items and how were you able to get the justification? Letter from surgeon? Thanks in advance!
I have a FSA account and with a letter from my doctor. I can use my FSA towards my vitamins and protien powder (powder form only). It will not cover RTD, protien bars and other food like supplements.
Go to Bariatric Eating, general board and there is a topic near the top of the page. FSA/HSA accounts.
The letter must be spelled out and include ICD 9 codes.
