FSA/HSA and Massage, Can You Use It?
Megan Mendes
I've had a number of clients asking me if they may use their FSA or HSA accounts for massage. After reading up a bit, I have an answer....YES!
However, always check your provider yourself to make sure of the protocol. From what I understand, you must obtain a referral from your healthcare practitioner stating that it is necessary for your condition. So, your MD, PT, DC, DO, etc.
