Does insurance cover/pay for medical alert bracelets?

Last Updated: March 10, 2021

If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, odds are you have a debit card associated with it. You take it out to pay for doctors’ visits and prescriptions, and that’s about it. But there’s one more thing you can use your HSA or FSA card for that’s actually pretty fun: jewelry shopping!

While it's always a good idea to check your individual plan's coverage details, medical alert bracelets are covered by most FSA and HSA plans. Of course, you can’t use your HSA or FSA card for just any jewelry or at just any website. But you CAN use your Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account debit card to pay for your new medical ID bracelet at Lauren’s Hope! It’s like getting a prescription for jewelry!

Whether you or your loved ones wear medical alerts for food allergies, drug allergies, diabetes, bleeding disorders, blood thinner use, lymphedema risk, or any other medical condition or treatment consideration, you can use your FSA or HSA card to buy a medical ID with Lauren’s Hope.
