Using health flex spending accounts for hearing aid expenses

Flex spending, health spending and health insurance cards surrounded by prescription bottles, eyeglasses and hearing aids.

Do you have a health flex spending account through your work? If so, you may be able to use your health flex spending account (FSA) to pay for hearing aid expenses that are not covered by insurance. For example:

  • Over-the-counter hearing aids
  • Hearing aid batteries
  • Hearing aid accessories
  • Ear molds and ear mold tubes
  • Out-of-pocket costs you pay for hearing aids covered by insurance (such as your deductible and/or co-pay).

It is a good idea to contact your FSA administrator and ask for details before you plan to use your FSA funds for hearing aid expenses. Always keep documentation of any expenses you use FSA funds to cover.
