Can I use my FSA/HSA Account to pay?

Yes, Connected Care NP accepts HSA and FSA funds as payment. However, it is the member’s responsibility to ensure eligibility according to IRS guidelines. This model is particularly beneficial for those with high-deductible insurance plans, though it works well with most insurance setups. In regard to FSA, how one can use those funds is up to the employer’s discretion, so please talk to your HR or Benefits department for clarification on whether they will allow payment for memberships or other fees to come from your FSA funds.
