COVID-19 Essentials That Are FSA and HSA Eligible!
If you’ve wondered the past year (like me) if there are COVID-19 related items I could use my FSA or HSA card on, you’re not alone. Recently I’ve come across a few essential items that are actually FSA and/or HSA-eligible, mainly from Amazon and Walgreens. Here’s what I’ve discovered:
Abbott Labs’ COVID-19 antigen self-test. Looks pretty convenient with results (claimed) in 15 minutes:
BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test, COVID Test With 15-Minute Results Without Sending to a Lab, Easy to Use at Home, FDA Emergency Use Authorization
I found it interesting that Amazon has it’s own FSA/HSA eligible COVID-19 test kit. Looks like a college text-book, haha:
Amazon COVID-19 Test Collection Kit DTC – FDA Authorized PCR Test Collection Kit — Gentle, nasal collection — Results in 24 hours from lab receipt
Walgreens also has a home kit by Labcorp, called the Pixel. Not to be confused with Google’s smart phone!
Besides COVID-19 tests, there are also other items that could come in handy for these times. Measuring blood-oxygen levels is helpful for measurement, so here’s a well-reviewed model from Zacurate:
Zacurate Pro Series 500DL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor with Silicon Cover, Batteries and Lanyard (Royal Black)
Lastly, digital thermometers are extra handy for daily-testing. If you don’t already have one, here’s a highly-recommended one from Braun (looks good too!):
Braun Digital Ear Thermometer, ThermoScan 5 IRT6500, Ear Thermometer for Babies, Kids, Toddlers and Adults, Display is Digital and Accurate, Thermometer for Precise Fever Tracking at Home
Stay safe out there!
