Is it HSA eligible?

Is a breast pump HSA eligible?

Yes. Breast pumps and the supplies that help with lactation count; extra bottles for storing food don’t.

The rule

The IRS lists breast pumps and lactation supplies as a medical expense.

It draws one line: the cost of extra bottles for storing food isn’t included.

Paid yourself, it waits in the HSA until you take the money out, this year or decades from now.

Watch for
Anything insurance paid, or paid you back for, can’t also come out of the HSA. Only what you paid yourself counts.

Keep the receipt. Take the money out later.

Pay a medical bill yourself and Reimburse keeps the receipt, with who it was for, until you take the money out of your HSA tax-free.
