How Your HSA Can Cover Weight Loss Programs and Medications

In this episode of Health Savings Accounts with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a specific and increasingly relevant question: Can your HSA pay for weight loss programs, medications, and even surgery? With the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, and new IRS guidance in 2025, the rules have shifted. Lucas breaks down the key distinction between 'medical necessity' and 'general health'—and why a doctor's letter of medical necessity is your golden ticket. Luna shares a real example of a listener who used their HSA to cover a nutritionist and a gym membership tied to a diagnosed condition. They also discuss the limits: when weight loss is deemed cosmetic, your HSA won't cover it. Plus, a quick look at recent IRS updates that expanded coverage for obesity treatment. A must-listen for anyone managing chronic weight issues or considering expensive GLP-1 therapies.
