Taking care of your health is one of the best investments you can make, but did you know there\u2019s a way to do it more cost-effectively? If you’re a patient (or prospective one) at Lowcountry Male, you may be eligible to use a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for many of your healthcare expenses with pre-tax dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re managing hormone optimization, weight loss support, erectile dysfunction treatment, prescription services or other plans we offer, using your HSA or FSA can mean big tax savings for you. You can even use it for your initial consultation & labwork!<\/span><\/p>\n Both HSA and FSA accounts are designed to help you pay for qualified medical expenses with money that hasn’t been taxed.<\/span><\/p>\n Effectively, a high-deductible health plan (or HDHP) requires you to pay a higher amount for medical care out of pocket before your insurance starts covering eligible costs, when compared to a traditional health plan. The amount you must pay out-of-pocket, before insurance will kick in, is known as your deductible, and there are certain limits a plan must meet to be considered an HDHP. Click here<\/a> for more information: Here\u2019s how they work:<\/span><\/p>\n Available if you have a <\/span>high-deductible health plan<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>$1,650 individual and $3,300 family in 2025).<\/span> Contributions, growth, and withdrawals for qualified expenses are <\/span>tax-free<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n Offered through many employers. Contributions are deducted from your paycheck <\/span>before taxes<\/b>, which lowers your taxable income.<\/span><\/p>\n The bottom line? Using these accounts lowers your tax bill and helps you pay for out-of-pocket health expenses more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n We recommend checking with your HSA\/FSA provider to confirm coverage of specific services, and we\u2019re happy to provide itemized receipts if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s take this example:<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you spend $2,500 per year on eligible health services at our clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n Without HSA\/FSA, you pay with<\/span> after-tax<\/b> dollars. This means if you\u2019re in a 30% combined tax bracket (federal + state), you\u2019d need to earn about $3,571 to cover that $2,500 in expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n However, with an HSA\/FSA plan, you contribute $2,500 from your paycheck before taxes – which you use in our clinic for services. You save $1,071 in taxes – that\u2019s money back in your pocket just for planning ahead!<\/span><\/p>\n To qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA), you must be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and have no other health coverage (with a few exceptions), and you cannot be enrolled in Medicare or claimed as a dependent on someone else\u2019s tax return.<\/span><\/p>\n You can set up an HSA through many banks, credit unions, insurance providers, or financial institutions like Fidelity, Lively, or <\/span>HSA Bank<\/span><\/a>. Once set up, you can contribute pre-tax dollars and use them for qualified medical expenses, giving you both flexibility and tax savings.<\/span><\/p>\n Health Savings Account (HSA) – 2025 Limits:<\/span><\/p>\n HSA funds roll over year to year and are yours to keep, even if you change jobs or insurance plans.<\/span><\/p>\n Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – 2025 Limit:<\/span><\/p>\n FSA funds are \u201cuse-it-or-lose-it\u201d unless your plan offers a rollover or grace period. Some employers may allow up to $640 of unused funds to roll over to the next year (check with your plan for details).<\/span><\/p>\n Check here for more information from the <\/span>IRS regarding HSA and FSA plans<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n As you can see, there are many advantages to having a Health Savings Account \/ Flexible Spending Account and using it for your treatments with our clinics. Using it for your Initial Consultation and Labs at <\/span>LowcountryMale.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a great way to start your journey to health optimization.
