Use Your HSA/FSA Funds for Foot Care Before December 31st!

There’s plenty to do in the holiday season, but while you’re busy shopping for gifts for loved ones, don’t forget to invest in your own health, too! How so, you ask? Simple: if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use those funds for a variety of podiatric needs, including custom orthotics, braces, and diabetic shoes.

Don’t wait too long, however – the deadline to use those funds is typically December 31st! That’s why this time around, Foot & Ankle Center of Ohio has put together a quick blog that will help you make the most of any leftover savings you might need to use.

What are HSA/FSA Funds?

Let’s start with the basics.

• HSA and FSA accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax money to cover qualified medical expenses.
• This can include a wide range of podiatric products and services, helping you save money while prioritizing your foot health.

Foot Care Covered by HSA/FSA

1. Custom Orthotics: These are prescription medical devices that are inserted into your shoes to support and align your feet. They can be highly effective in treating various conditions, including:
   • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
   • Bunions and hammertoes
   • Flat feet
   • Arthritis
   • Sports injuries
2. Braces and AFOs: These options provide support and stability for injured or weak ankles and feet. They can be helpful for conditions such as:
   • Ankle sprains
   • Achilles tendonitis
   • Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD)
   • Drop foot
3. Diabetic Shoes: Diabetic shoes are specially designed to protect the feet of people with diabetes. They offer extra depth, width, and seamless interiors to reduce pressure points and friction, helping to prevent foot ulcers and other complications.
