Can I Use My HSA for Headache Medicine?

So you've opened one of the best HSA accounts on the market and made contributions to start saving for healthcare expenses. What can you use your health savings account (HSA) for?

These unique savings accounts are purpose-built to help you manage the cost of healthcare. They're tax-advantaged and can grow with you over time. Everything you put into the account is tax-deductible, and distributions for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. Even the interest you earn from investing in your HSA is tax-deferred.

There's a lot to gain from opening an HSA, but you don't have to wait to use it. While many people don't touch these accounts as they grow, you can start using them to reap the tax rewards. But what kinds of products can you pay for with your HSA?

Paying for Over-the-Counter Products

It's not just doctor visits and ER bills that count as qualified medical expenses. Several over-the-counter products apply, too. One common item many rely on to stay comfortable is headache medicine. There's no shortage of pain relievers like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Advil or Excedrin to reduce symptoms and get relief.

All of those products are qualified medical expenses. You can use your HSA for headache medicine. But that's not all.

You can also use your HSA to pay for items like Epsom salts and heating pads to address bodily pain. It also covers allergy medicine, menstrual products and more!

How Do You Use an HSA for Over-the-Counter Products?

Utilizing your HSA for products at the drugstore is easier than you think. Many big-name pharmacy stores now label HSA- and FSA-eligible goods. Even online retailers have dedicated HSA and FSA stores, allowing you to find the products you need without worrying about documentation or approval.

When you pay for qualified products like headache medicine, you can use your HSA debit card like any other payment method. The best HSA accounts typically provide an easy-to-use card. When used, the funds will come out of your HSA directly. If you don't have an HSA debit card, you can request reimbursement from your provider with a receipt.

Steps on How to Find Your Own Health Insurance

Having health insurance is a vital part of protecting yourself and those you love. Healthcare costs continue to rise each year, and in many areas, a medical emergency can end up costing a tremendous amount of money. Without some form of health insurance in place, you may find yourself facing financial hardship as a result of a medical concern, and many Americans deal with mounting medical bills each year.

Thankfully, finding health insurance isn’t all that difficult. Below are some simple steps to take if you want to get the protection you deserve:

1. Talk to Your Employer

The first step in obtaining health insurance is to see if your employer provides access to insurance as a workplace benefit. Many employers provide health insurance coverage, and your employer will likely cover all or most of the cost of the policy.

If you’re under the age of 26, you can still take part in a parent's health insurance policy. Health insurance after age 26 is available as either an individual plan or as a group plan through an employer. When looking for health insurance after age 26, talk with your doctor first to make sure they will be covered by any policy provider you’re considering working with.

2. Select a Plan

When selecting a health insurance plan, consider your specific needs. If you’re younger, you may not have as many ongoing healthcare concerns that need to be paid for, but things can change as you get older.

Chronic healthcare conditions cannot disqualify you from obtaining health insurance, and you may also consider using the federal government’s healthcare exchange to look for a plan in your area that meets your needs. Private insurance plans may offer better coverage options, but this will depend on your budget and your state.

3. Understand Your Payments

Health insurance coverage generally requires a monthly premium to be paid to keep coverage current. If your plan is made available through your employer, they will generally take a portion of your paycheck to cover your premium. If you have a private plan, you will need to make payments independently. Lastly, understand your deductible. This is the amount you will need to spend on medical costs before your health insurance benefits apply toward your medical bills.

Didn’t want to derail your medical post but I wanted to share a trick I use to get the testing I need done without a doctor’s visit. I got an HSA account and try to keep at least the cost of two doctors visits or about $500 in there (you can work up to it over time), and use a testing company/lab like Quest or LabCorp to schedule the tests u need. You can usually just have the actual test done at like a CVS through their scheduling portal. Then u can take that testing info to ur doctor and make them aware of the results. You just need to be sure of the kinds of tests u need but it usually forces their hand to take u seriously!

Also the nice thing about an HSA is it stays with u even if ur insurance changes, the only thing is it has restrictions on what it can be used for and also if u absolutely have to take money out (not medical related) u get penalized with like a % fee. But always nice to have if u switch doctors/jobs.

Hope this helps!!

thank you

I'll check it out when I've like calmed down

For now I'm just going to wait for my best friend acetaminophen to kick in and sleep until Monday

I want to FIRE! Do you have any tips for that ;)

Hi love! While I'm not committed to their FIRE movement per se, here are some of my best tips to set yourself up for financial success:

Diligently keep track of your income and expenses. Audit every week or month to give yourself an honest look at your financial activity

Create financial goals and a realistic budget to help you achieve them

Prioritize saving up a 6-month emergency fund, maxing out your Roth IRA (or backdoor Roth IRA) and HSA account (if in the U.S.)

Purchase high-quality, timeless items that are built to last; It's cheaper in the long run to maintain items vs. constantly repurchasing items if you have the option

Create multiple sources of income: A 9-5 job, investments, side hustle, digital products, etc. Find ways to monetize activities you would enjoy doing without earning a dime

Focus on building a strong network and high-value, transferable skills: Even if you plan on working as an employee forever (no shame in that – it's a great way to get a steady paycheck), always strategize your career in a way that would leave you equipped to make it on your own. You need to be in the driver's seat of your career and financial life at all times

Make food at home, take care of your health, and take advantage of preventative medical testing, screenings, and procedures. Losing your health (physical and mental) is the easiest way to ruin your life satisfaction and your finances

Hope this helps xx

Dumb rant, and I'm fully aware I'm not a perfect human being, and I can be a jack ass at times

Also, this is the account my friends don't know about

(SA trigger warning ⚠️ and SH warning ⚠️)

For context, i was screwed over for the entirety of my first ever relationship(6 months). I didn't tell any of my friends the messed-up things my ex did. When i finally broke down and told my best friend(a HIGHLY sugar coated verson of hSAing me), he told me I had to break up with my bf (no shit, been trying to for 3 months at this point). When I finally did, my ex was completely an asshole about it and tried to gilt trip me. Thankfully, I used some of the techniques from therapy and was able to cope.

This is where the current problem started(last November). After breaking up with my ex and telling everyone, "He was a jurck, and I do NOT want to elaborate." Some of my friends didn't get the memo. Specifically, 2 of them.

(Friend 1) was in a club with my ex and friends with him. When she found out she (despite the fact that i was vulnerable and actively crying) tried to GUILT TRIP ME INTO TELLING HER!!! When I say that, I mean despite the fact that my ex was known to make 'krill your self jokes' towards my best friend, and i said I broke up with him for treating my poorly, she INSISTED that I MUST tell her specifically why I broke up with him so she can decide whether she wants to stop being friends with him or not. (I never said she had to stop), and it was like 2 seconds after she found out we broke up) She felt that she was entitled to knowing because he was her friend and she had a right to this knowledge( for some fucking reason) and wouldn't take "ask him" for a answer.

Then my wanna be mom friend (friend 2 is really just bossy) decided to join in. She kept insisting I tell everyone on why because how are my friends supposed to help me (I didn't want help, I wanted to cry and be by myself). (Friend 2) tried to make it sound like she just wanted to help, but she has a track record of getting people to open up and then dumping them on to other people. She constantly tells people they need to get better at setting boundaries when all she dose is break them. This friend also trys to act like they are a "therapist" when their one of the only people in the group who haven't even taken a psychology class.

The breaking point was my BEST FRIEND agreeing with them. (He really just wanted me to feel like I could confide in them if I wanted to).

So despite not wanting to air out my dirty laundry and be known as someone who let herself get SA, I give in after saying no multiple times, I tell them.

Then, because I'm such a mess, I confide in my one friend, only for him to start flirting with me and saying how he would never hurt me like my abusive ex so I think he is a safe person. Only when we start dating, he completely changes. He makes fun of my getting SA. He is rude and controlling. He tries to talk for me constantly. And I found out that he cheated on his ex, AND he was still with his ex when he started flirting with me. He also lied about no longer being friends with my ex. I end up breaking up with him after a week, and he is still convinced we're getting back together (since last December).

Once winter break started, I proceeded to lose months of progress from therapy(definitely not good). Won't go into too many details, but I started SH again after months of work, and now my clean streak is ruined.

I've been back at school for 3 days. Day one, I accidentally let it slip that I was mad at someone other than my ex. My best friend forced me to tell him. I told him about our 2 friends and he agreed that it wasn't cool. The next day, we get into a stupid argument. I'm a loud person, sure, but I wasn’t yelling at him.

He mentioned (friend 1) being upset.

I say I didn’t care because she was rude.

He takes that as me thinking (friend 1) was because for venting in the group chat and is condescending when telling me that she wasn't rude.

I think he means in general, and I get upset because gilt tripping is MEAN. So I get defensive.

He's upset that I'm mad and apologize for not understanding, but he doesn't lose the hostility.

I'm upset, want to cry, and was all worked up. I think who cares and confusion dealt with, but I'm still frustrated. I say 'whatever' and end up leaving cause he needs to catch his bus, and I need to meet up with my ride

He's upset shouting something about saying he was sorry as I'm walking

And I'm like,'doesn't even matter. I'm not doing this right now.

When I got how I cooled off. I texted him an apology and offered to sit somewhere else at lunch. I was left on 'delivered' and assumed he was busy. When I returned, I saw that he vented on his Tumbler that are friends fallow him on about how shitty his day was and how his 'best friend' yelled at him for no rest and he mentioned that I 'apologized but now I wanted to sit somewhere else for lunch' he would only know that if he read my text. He was too petty to click on my message and mark it as read and still blow up about what I said on his Tumbler. I sent another apology and explained that I didn't want to upset him more by sitting with him. IM STILL LEFT ON FUCKING DELIVERED! I say fuck it we'll fix it tomorrow we alway do he just needs space right now.

Today I didn't see him in the morning because his bus was late. I didn't see him at lunch when my friend and I looked for him before getting lunch. I shot him a total of 3 new texts today, saying that I hope he made it to school safely and that the group was going to the commissary.

I walk to my next class missing my best friend only to see him in the hall way. He ate lunch alone. So I'm asking I'd he's ok and he brushes my off. I then say that I was sorry in person this time and say that he doesn't have to forgive me...

I go to advisory, and I'm trying not to cry the whole 90 minutes. At the end of the day, I go to return his jacket to him(i always wear his jacket). he acts cold to me and tells me he doesn't want it. So I leave and try not to cry.

He's condescending and rude and says that he knows I'm sorry cause I sent him 900 messages. 8 over the span of 2 days isn't a lot(we normally spam each other with hearts), and he left me on delivered for all of them. We go to our class, and since it's an online class (we're all on laptops), he asked to work in the other room(we sit next to each other in that class). So there I was sitting there by myself on the verge of tears the entire time. When I saw him in the hall, he made it obvious that he wasn't looking at me.

I'm still left on delivered BTW

Esketamine Cost with Insurance: Strategies for Affordability

Introduction: 

Esketamine, a breakthrough treatment for depression, has shown promising results for individuals who have not responded well to traditional antidepressant medications. However, one of the concerns that may arise when considering esketamine treatment is the associated cost. In this blog post, we will explore various strategies to make esketamine more affordable by leveraging insurance coverage and exploring cost-saving options.

Understanding Insurance Coverage: 

Begin by understanding the specifics of your insurance policy. Review the coverage details and determine if esketamine is included as a covered medication. Check if there are any restrictions, limitations, or prior authorization requirements. This will give you a clearer picture of what costs to expect and how to navigate the process.

Consult with Your Insurance Provider: 

Contact your insurance provider directly to gain insights into your coverage for esketamine. Ask specific questions about copayments, deductibles, and any potential out-of-pocket expenses. Seek clarity on the documentation required for reimbursement and the steps involved in filing claims.

Research In-Network Providers: 

Find out if there are any in-network providers or clinics that offer esketamine treatment. In-network providers often have negotiated rates with insurance companies, which can lead to more affordable treatment options. Consider reaching out to these providers and confirming their acceptance of your insurance plan.

Seek Prior Authorization: 

Some insurance plans may require prior authorization for esketamine therapy. Work closely with your healthcare provider to gather the necessary medical documentation and submit it to your insurance company. This step helps ensure that the treatment is medically necessary, potentially increasing the chances of coverage approval.

Explore Financial Assistance Programs: 

Research financial assistance programs offered by pharmaceutical companies or non-profit organisations. These programs can provide financial support or discounts for eligible individuals who are prescribed esketamine. Check the eligibility criteria and application process for each program to see if you qualify.

Compare Insurance Plans: 

During the open enrollment period or when considering a change in insurance coverage, compare different insurance plans to find the one that offers the best coverage for esketamine. Look for plans that have a higher level of coverage or lower out-of-pocket costs for this specific medication.

Utilise. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): 

If you have an FSA or HSA, consider using these accounts to pay for esketamine treatment. These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars specifically for medical expenses, potentially reducing the overall cost of treatment.

Talk to Your Healthcare Provider: 

Engage in an open conversation with your healthcare provider about the financial aspect of esketamine treatment. They may have valuable insights or recommendations to help you navigate the insurance process, explore cost-saving options, or even consider alternative treatment approaches.

Conclusion: 

While the cost of esketamine treatment with insurance can be a concern, there are strategies available to make it more affordable. By understanding your insurance coverage, seeking prior authorization, exploring financial assistance programs, and considering cost-saving options, you can optimise the affordability of esketamine treatment. Remember to engage with your healthcare provider and insurance company to ensure a smooth and cost-effective journey towards better mental health.

5 Ways For Small Business Owners To Reduce Their Taxable Income

Taxes can be anxious for a small business owner. You wear multiple hats, and one of the last things you want to do is give more of your hard-earned business profits to the nation.

Fortunately, there are many tax savings methods to reduce your taxable liability as a business owner. If you need methods to reduce your taxable income, consider some of the following ways below.

Employ a Family Member

The most suitable way to reduce taxes for your small business is by hiring one of your family members. The Internal Revenue Service allows for a variety of opportunities, all with the potential advantage of sheltering income from taxes. You can even hire your kids.

By hiring family members, small business owners can pay a lower marginal rate, or eliminate the tax on the income paid to their kids.

It is crucial to point out that earnings need to come from justified business goals. The IRS also lets small business owners have the benefit of reducing their taxes by hiring a spouse.

Depending on the advantages they may have through another job, you can even put aside retirement savings for them.

Start a Retirement Plan

As a small business owner, you give up a 401(k) contest compared to an employer. However, different retirement account options maximize retirement savings and reap valuable tax benefits. There are a variety of different retirement plan opportunities for business owners on the IRS website as a tax savings strategy.

Save Money for Healthcare Needs

One of the best methods to reduce small business taxes is by setting aside money for healthcare necessities. Medical costs continue to grow, and while you may be healthy now, saving money for unpredictable or future healthcare needs is crucial.

You can complete this through a Health Savings Account if you have a qualified high-deductible health plan.

By using HSAs, the business, and the employees can decrease taxes and potentially associated medical expenses.

Change Your Business Structure

As a small business owner, you do not have the advantage of an employer paying a part of your taxes. You are on the hook for the whole amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes.

As a limited liability company if your business is taxed you have to pay those taxes, though in distinctive circumstances you can eliminate half of those two tax responsibilities.

While there are different things to consider in this switch, like paying yourself adequate pay and other risks, it is a good way to reduce your taxable responsibility.

Deduct Travel Expenses

If you travel so much, you can reduce your business taxes. Business travel is completely deductible, though individual travel does not enjoy the same benefit. However, to maximize their business travel, small business owners can mix individual journeys with a justifiable business strategy.

With smart business tax planning, you can decrease your taxable revenue as a small business owner and maintain more of your funds operating for you. Just remember to consult a tax expert to assure you qualify for the possible savings.

The best sunscreens are usually European or East Asian and rated at least PA+++ or PD 8+. https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/sunscreen/ is excellent as a resource.

The u.s. does not rate adequately for how much UVA protection a given sunscreen has. (We mostly rate for UVB and say "broad spectrum" if it also protects against UVA).

If you are in the U.S. ALL products with SPF are qualified to be purchased with HSA or FSA funds. check your insurance/employer to see if you have an HSA/FSA, if you get money from your employer, or can put money pre-tax into an account for it. My insurance option through my job gives me like $500 every year for medical expenses. I buy fancy expensive japanese sunscreen because I'm able to get reimbursed for it (or use my HSA card directly).

Basically if it has spf, I'm using pre-tax funds/employer benefits to buy it.

Hello everybody with summer fast approaching here is your regular reminder that:

Everyone needs to wear sunscreen

SPF 50 is pretty much the best protection you can get, an SPF higher than that will have the same effect

Melanin does not protect you from skin cancer

Tanning is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation

Spending the majority of your life receiving regular large doses of UV radiation without any skin protection is a good way to get skin cancer

Don't use tanning beds, and don't go sun tanning

Wear your fucking sunscreen

How to Save on Health Insurance Premiums for Senior Citizens: Tips & Strategies 

Health insurance for senior citizens can often be a financial burden, but there are several strategies available to reduce premiums while still maintaining comprehensive coverage. As medical costs continue to rise, seniors need to explore all available options to ensure they get the best value for their money. Here are some effective tips and strategies for saving on health insurance premiums for senior citizens. 

1. Consider Medicare Advantage Plans 

For those eligible for Medicare, one of the best ways to reduce premiums is by choosing a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). These plans, offered by private insurers, often have lower premiums than traditional Medicare (Parts A and B), and they may provide additional coverage, including vision, dental, and prescription drugs. Many Medicare Advantage Plans have zero-dollar premiums or very low monthly costs, making them a cost-effective alternative. 

2. Opt for High Deductible Plans 

Another strategy to save on health insurance for senior citizens is to consider high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). These plans usually have lower monthly premiums but require you to pay more out-of-pocket for medical expenses before insurance kicks in. HDHPs are an excellent choice for seniors who don’t anticipate frequent doctor visits or who are generally healthy. Additionally, HDHPs can be paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA), which allows seniors to set aside money tax-free to cover future medical expenses. 

3. Shop Around and Compare Plans 

When selecting health insurance for senior citizens, it’s important to shop around and compare plans. Premiums, coverage, and out-of-pocket costs can vary significantly between providers. Tools like the Health Insurance Marketplace or the Medicare website can help seniors compare different plans based on their specific needs and location. Don't settle for the first plan you come across—taking the time to compare options can result in significant savings. 

4. Look for Discounts and Subsidies 

Many health insurance providers offer discounts for specific groups, including seniors. Some Medicare Advantage Plans and Medigap policies offer discounts based on income or medical conditions. Seniors should check with their insurer or the Medicare.gov website to see if they qualify for any subsidies or financial assistance programs. These programs can help reduce premiums, co-pays, and deductibles. 

5. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle 

A healthy lifestyle can help reduce the need for expensive medical care and lower overall insurance costs. Seniors who maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are often rewarded with lower insurance premiums. Insurance companies may offer discounts to policyholders who demonstrate a commitment to health and wellness. Additionally, staying healthy can prevent the need for costly treatments and medications, helping to reduce out-of-pocket expenses in the long run. 

6. Review Your Plan Annually 

Health needs change over time, and so do health insurance for senior citizens plans. It’s crucial to review your health insurance coverage annually, especially during open enrollment periods, to ensure it still meets your needs. Seniors may find that they no longer need certain benefits or that their premiums have increased. By reevaluating your plan each year, you can potentially find more affordable options or adjust coverage to better suit your changing health situation. 

Conclusion 

Saving on health insurance premiums is possible for senior citizens with careful planning and smart decision-making. By exploring Medicare Advantage plans, opting for high-deductible health plans, comparing different providers, seeking discounts, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and reviewing coverage annually, seniors can keep their insurance premiums under control. Remember, the best plan is one that balances affordable costs with the necessary coverage, ensuring both financial savings and health security.

Why a Health Savings Account (HSA) Is a the Best Retirement Plan Available

[fixpacknl10]

Retirement Planning San Diego

Retirement planning San Diego is an essential aspect of financial security, especially in a city like San Diego, where the cost of living is high and the dream of a comfortable retirement is a common goal for many. Whether you’re starting your career or nearing retirement age, it’s important to have a solid plan in place to ensure you live comfortably without financial stress. San Diego offers a unique environment for retirement planning, blending its vibrant economy, beautiful surroundings, and diverse lifestyle options. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the key components of retirement planning in San Diego.

1. Understand Your Retirement Goals

The first step in retirement planning is setting clear and achievable goals. Consider factors like when you want to retire, the lifestyle you envision, and how much you need to live comfortably. San Diego offers a wide range of options, from coastal living to more suburban lifestyles, and your plan should reflect where you want to be. Factor in travel, hobbies, healthcare, and any other activities that will define your retirement.

2. Evaluate Your Current Financial Situation

Start by taking a close look at your finances. What are your current income, expenses, debts, and savings? San Diego’s high cost of living can make saving for retirement challenging, especially if you’re living in one of its more expensive neighborhoods like La Jolla or Del Mar. That’s why it’s crucial to track your spending and create a budget that prioritizes long-term savings, such as contributions to retirement accounts like 401(k)s, IRAs, or other investment vehicles.

3. Maximize Retirement Savings Plans

In San Diego, as elsewhere, contributing to retirement accounts is one of the best ways to secure a comfortable future. Consider maxing out your 401(k) if your employer offers a match — this is essentially free money. In addition, an IRA (Traditional or Roth) can help you build savings with tax advantages. San Diego residents often face higher-than-average costs for housing and living expenses, so it’s important to start saving early to account for these factors.

4. Plan for Healthcare Costs

Healthcare is a significant concern for retirees, and in San Diego, healthcare options are plentiful but expensive. Make sure to factor in health insurance premiums, Medicare, and any supplemental plans. The cost of healthcare is expected to rise, and being proactive in your planning will give you peace of mind as you approach retirement. Look into options like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to help with tax-free savings for medical expenses.

5. Invest Wisely for the Future

In addition to retirement accounts, it’s important to have a diverse investment portfolio that will grow over time. San Diego has a thriving real estate market, so some people choose to invest in rental properties as part of their retirement strategy. Others might prefer stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. The key is to balance risk and return based on your retirement timeline and goals.

6. Consider the Cost of Living in San Diego

Living in San Diego has its perks, but it can also come with a high price tag. The average home price in San Diego is well above the national average, and rent prices are similarly steep. When planning for retirement, factor in these living costs and make sure you have enough to cover both daily living expenses and future needs.

Conclusion

Retirement planning in San Diego requires careful consideration of your finances, goals, and the local economy. The city offers a variety of opportunities for those looking to retire in comfort, but you must plan ahead to ensure you have the resources to support your ideal lifestyle. By saving early, investing wisely, and considering the high cost of living, you can create a successful retirement plan that allows you to enjoy your golden years in this beautiful Southern California city.
