Is HoMedics UV-Clean Portable Sanitizer Wand HSA or FSA Eligible?

UV sanitizing wands may be eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity documenting an immunocompromised condition or medically-required infection control protocol. Without this documentation, they are considered general hygiene items.

The full list of qualified medical expenses is defined in IRS Publication 502, updated annually. The CARES Act of 2020 expanded eligibility to include all OTC medicines and menstrual care products.

1. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and discuss the medical condition you need to manage.
2. Request a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) citing HoMedics UV-Clean Portable Sanitizer Wand by name.
3. Purchase the product with your HSA/FSA debit card, or pay out of pocket.
4. Submit your receipt + LMN through your plan administrator's portal.
5. Save the documentation for at least 7 years for IRS records.
