Fitbit or Apple Watch eligible under HSA

I've been using a Fitbit to track/encourage my exercise regimen in the run up to my surgery, but I recently lost it at airport security.

I was looking to replace it and trying to decide between another Fitbit or an Apple Watch, and it occurred to me that maybe I could use my Health Savings Account to pay for it.

Has anyone been able to get the cost of these types of devices deemed eligible for HSA funds? I've been researching online and the answer is either it's unclear or it's possible with documentation from a treating physician.

Any info is appreciated.

  • I work for insurance and that is not a qualified purchase under HSA, you would be fined for it as well.

    I don't know the answer to your specific question but wanted to recommend the misfit shine. I love mine and it is less expensive than a Fitbit.
