Tax-free FSA and HSA funds can be used to purchase health devices at FSA Store and HSA Store that treat conditions like acne, diabetes, migraines, and more

DALLAS, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With parents expected to spend over $875 per child on back-to-school needs in the coming weeks, the financial strain of prepping for a new academic year is real. But healthcare is one area where parents can save by using tax-free funds. Approximately 70 million people–many of whom are parents to school-aged children–are enrolled in FSAs and HSAs, and Health-E Commerce, parent brand to FSA Store and HSA Store is sharing information that will help them understand how to use their tax-free funds to pay for a surprising range of healthcare expenses for kids of all ages for the new school year, including high-tech health.

“Today’s students have grown up with technology and are incorporating devices into how they manage their own wellbeing. Parents can benefit from understanding how to use their FSA or HSA to purchase high-tech devices that can support the health of their families, whether they’re using a digital thermometer on a preschooler, helping their teenager address acne, or helping their child manage migraines,” said Keri Kaiser, chief revenue officer at Health-E Commerce. “At FSA Store and HSA Store, we offer a broad selection of guaranteed-eligible devices that help parents and students get what they need to stay healthy this school year.”

To help families save on high-impact, tech-forward healthcare purchases, FSA Store and HSA Store recommend checking out these FSA- and HSA-eligible devices for students:

1. WHOOP 4.0 Wearable Health & Activity Tracker. Help older children maintain good health by tracking essential biometrics like sleep, heart and respiration rates, temperature, oxygen levels, and much more with a WHOOP 4.0 wearable health tracker.
2. Dr Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro. Use light therapy to help your child fight acne, eczema, rosacea, and other skin conditions so they can have the confidence that comes from healthy skin at any age.
3. Caring Mill™ Fingertip Pulse Oximeter. When illnesses set in, blood oxygen levels can drop, but an at-home pulse oximeter can help parents and college-aged students monitor this vital health metric so the best steps can be taken to manage their illness.
4. reVive Light Therapy LUX Sonique Mini Sonic Cleansing Device. Treat acne flare ups with the power of medically proven light therapy and sonic cleansing technology that opens the pores to clean skin more deeply.
5. Hi-Tech Total Body Pain Relief Bundle. The life of a student is jam packed with activities, which can often result in muscle aches and strains. FSA and HSA funds can be used to purchase high-tech pain relief products, like this convenient Hi-Tech Total Body Pain Relief Bundle from FSA Store and HSA Store.
6. Ease Migraine & Eye Reliever with Compression & Heat — Caring Mill™ by Aura. Tension headaches and migraines, which often set in during the teenage years, can be debilitating for some individuals. Devices like the Ease Migraine & Eye Reliever mask from Caring Mill can deliver everyday, drug-free relief.
7. Serene Menstrual Relief Bundle – Caring Mill™ by Aura Bundle. Period pain and discomfort can throw students off their game and disrupt normal activities. Consider using FSA and HSA funds to purchase high-tech support like the Serene Menstrual Relief Bundle from Caring Mill.
8. Braun No Touch + Forehead Thermometer. Back to school often signals an increase in minor illnesses like colds, influenza, and strep throat. Monitoring your child’s temperature is important for both at-home treatments and for keeping doctors informed so they can prescribe the best course of action.
9. Accu-Chek Guide Blood Glucose Meter. If your child has been diagnosed with diabetes, learning how to monitor and manage their condition takes time and attention. Tax-free FSA and HSA funds can be used to pay for blood glucose meters, lancets, testing strips, and more.
10. Illumine Ultrasonic Gum-Health Scaler – Caring Mill™ by Aura. Properly cleaning teeth and maintaining good oral health can be tricky for kids, but devices like the Illumine Ultrasonic Gum-Health Scaler can help treat gum pain and clean all the nooks, crannies, and crevices where bacteria can build up on teeth and lead to decay and periodontal disease.

Don’t forget about over-the-counter medications and products. In addition to high-tech health devices, FSA and HSA funds can be used to purchase a wide variety of over-the-counter products that kids and parents use every day. Visit FSA Store or HSA Store to learn more and to use our FSA or HSA eligibility lists to search for the brands and products you need.

Did you know?
