Using Your Health Insurance to Pay for An Air Purifier

Can you use your health insurance to pay for an air purifier? Air purifiers are not usually covered by health insurance. However, you can use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). A FSA or HSA can save you considerable cash on eligible medical-related expenditures, procedures, and services that you would typically have to pay for out of pocket — including an Austin Air purifier.

Here is what you need to know to get your air purifier covered by your FSA or HSA.

What Is A Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?

Flexible Spending Account or FSA, is a pre-tax medical benefits account offered by many employers which allows you to set aside funds to pay for eligible medical expenses that aren’t covered by your insurance plan. The money is deducted directly from your paycheck before taxes are assessed, and in some cases your employer may also contribute, although they are not obligated to do so. (Talk to your HR department about your company’s specific policy). The funds accumulated in your FSA can be used to cover the cost of medical expenses such as:

  • Office co-pays
  • Deductibles
  • Approved medical devices and equipment

What Is An HSA?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is similar to an FSA and will allow you to put money aside to cover the cost of healthcare expenses that are not covered by your existing healthcare plan. The main difference between an FSA and an HSA is that the individual controls an HSA, where a FSA is owned by the employer.

How Can I Use My FSA Or HSA To Pay for An Air Purifier?

If you are using your air purifier to treat a medical condition such as asthma, allergies, or COPD, your FSA or HSA funds can be used to cover the cost.

  • Please note: Every insurance company is different. Therefore, it is imperative that you contact your insurance company before purchasing to verify that you can, in fact, use your HSA/FSA funds to purchase an air purifier.

Purchasing an Austin Air Purifier with a FSA or HSA Debit Card

About 55 million Americans are covered by employer-based Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs.) Another option aside from reimbursement, is to use your FSA or HSA debit card to purchase your machine. At Austin Air, we accept FSA or HSA debit cards on our website.

What to Look for In an Air Purifier

How do you choose the best air purifier for you? The short answer is that it depends on what your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues are and what type of home you have. It also depends on what medical conditions you may be trying to treat or symptoms you’re looking to alleviate. The answer may be different for someone with asthma and allergies, or someone in a wildfire-prone region, than it is for someone trying to reduce the effects of VOCs or gasses.

The Air in Your Bedroom Is Messing With Your Sleep, Your Heart, and Your Testosterone. Here's What Nobody's Telling You

Before you spend Father's Day being handed a card and a hard-earned breakfast, let's have the men's health conversation that many are still not having. Not the one about getting your PSA checked. Not the one about eating more vegetables. The conversation about the air in your home—specifically the air in the room where you spend seven to nine hours every single night, completely unconscious, breathing whatever is floating around in there. Because here's the thing: that air is doing something to you. To your sleep. To your heart. To your athletic performance.
