Diapers are a FSA/HSA eligable item?

omurray

DH said to me the other day that he thought diapers were eligible items for the FSA and HSA accounts.  I thought he was nuts.  But, I'm looking at my Target receipt now and the pull ups do have an asterix by them indicating they are a health item.  Am I the last person to know this?  Figures, since DS only uses pull ups for sleeping now.

Nope, they're not. Diaper cream, yes. Diapers, no.

Nope, they're not eligible with our account. I don't know if that's for everyone or it varies by employer/accounts.

I thought it was a federal thing and I didn't think diapers were covered, BUT once they were covered for me at Kroger. We have a debit card preloaded that you can use at any store that is able to tell you what is and isn't FSA.  I always swipe my 'benny' card first then pay for whatever is leftover.  Only once were diapers covered.  Mistake maybe? yay for you!!
