Frequently asked questions

Can I use my HSA debit card to pay for Wound Care?

Yes. Pay with your HSA debit card at the point of sale, or pay out-of-pocket and reimburse yourself. Always keep your itemized receipt.

Do I need to keep a receipt for Wound Care?

Yes — for every HSA withdrawal the IRS requires documentation proving the expense was qualified. Keep itemized receipts for at least 3 years after the tax year.

Can I reimburse myself years later for Wound Care?

Yes — the IRS imposes no time limit on HSA reimbursements. As long as the expense was incurred after your HSA was established and you have documentation, you can reimburse yourself years or even decades later.
