Time: ~15 minutes Result: Reimbursed telehealth and digital health expenses from your HSA or FSA.

Step-by-step

  1. Step 1: Confirm telehealth is an eligible expense

    Telehealth visits with a licensed provider are eligible HSA/FSA expenses, including primary care, behavioral health, and specialty visits. AI symptom assessment tools alone are generally not eligible unless billed as part of a clinician visit.

  2. Step 2: Pay with your HSA/FSA debit card if available

    If your HSA/FSA provider issued a debit card, use it at checkout for the telehealth visit. This pre-authorizes the expense and avoids manual reimbursement.

  3. Step 3: Save the itemized receipt

    Telehealth platforms send an itemized receipt showing the provider, date, service code, and amount. Save it — your HSA administrator may audit any year. PDF receipts are fine.

  4. Step 4: Submit for reimbursement if you paid out of pocket

    If you paid with a personal card, log in to your HSA/FSA portal, upload the receipt, and submit a reimbursement claim. Funds typically transfer to your bank in 3-5 business days.

  5. Step 5: Track your spending against the annual limit

    2026 limits: HSA $4,300 (individual) / $8,550 (family); FSA $3,300. FSA dollars typically expire at year-end; HSAs roll over and grow tax-free.
