Some fall-prevention care can be paid pre-tax
Fall risk assessments, mobility aids, and vision evaluations generally qualify for pre-tax payment from your HSA or FSA. Balance training and home safety modifications are different: they may qualify only when a physician documents them in a Letter of Medical Necessity for a diagnosed condition, and for a modification only the medical portion counts. General fitness or balance classes do not qualify. In every case, your plan administrator decides. Here's what your tax bracket could save you each year.
