Can your Health Savings Account help pay for chiropractic healthcare products & services?

According to the IRS Publication 502 Medical and Dental Expenses a good number of chiropractic services and healthcare products are eligible for coverage under a Health Savings Account or to be listed as Unreimbursed Medical Expenses
for tax purposes. Please note that the items described that are available in our office must be prescribed by Dr. Schantz for a specific condition or disorder for which you are being treated.
Items and services that are for promotion of your well-being are not considered eligible medical expenses. Here is a partial list of items that you may have been prescribed or may be appropriate for your condition. Please ask Dr. Schantz or our staff if you have questions. Consult your tax advisor and/or your HSA administrator for specific allowances and limitations.
