Maximizing Your HSA or FSA with the VWell™ Trip?
Did you know you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for part of your VacayWellness™ (VWell™) Trip? It’s a smart, tax-free way to invest in your health while enjoying a rejuvenating getaway.
Understanding HSA-Eligible Expenses
According to IRS Publication 502, HSA and FSA funds can be used for qualified medical expenses, which include:
Medical Services: Costs associated with diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
Transportation: Travel expenses primarily for and essential to medical care, such as airfare and taxi fares to and from the medical facility.
Lodging: Up to $50 per night for lodging while away from home receiving medical care.
Applying this to your VWell Trip
Our standard VWell™ itinerary includes the following:
Day 1: Departure Flight + Accommodation
Day 2: Full Medical Checkup + Accommodation
Days 3–5: Wellness Activities + Accommodation
Day 6: Return Flight
Based on IRS Publication 502 guidelines, the following expenses from your VWell™ Trip may be HSA- and FSA- eligible:
Round-Trip Airfare: Since the primary purpose of the trip is to receive medical care.
Medical Checkup Costs: Fees for the comprehensive medical examination.
Local Transportation: Taxi fares to and from the hospital or medical facility.
Lodging: One night's accommodation related to the medical service, adhering to the $50 per night limit.
Simplified Billing for HSA Reimbursement
To facilitate HSA or FSA reimbursements, VacayWellness can provide two separate receipts upon booking:
- HSA- or FSA- Eligible Expenses: Detailed invoice covering medical services, transportation, and eligible lodging.
- Non-HSA Expenses: Invoice for wellness activities and additional accommodations.
This separation ensures you can easily submit qualified expenses for reimbursement through your HSA or FSA provider.
