People Are Using It to Pay for Cold-Plunge Tubs-and to Stockpile Money for Retirement. It Started Out as Something Else Entirely.
Briefly

Morgan Goodstadt, a registered dietitian from Greenwich, Connecticut, has modernized her practice by allowing patients to pay for one-on-one nutrition counseling using their Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Traditionally, these accounts cover typical medical expenses, but clients are now utilizing them for preventive health services, including nutrition guidance and fitness resources. This shift reflects a larger trend where Americans are creatively maximizing the benefits of HSAs and FSAs for wellness-related expenses, thereby expanding their options for health management significantly.
Morgan Goodstadt's virtual practice allows HSA and FSA payments for nutrition counseling, creatively expanding how individuals utilize their health savings accounts.
Health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts are becoming increasingly used for preventive health services, like nutrition counseling and wellness products.
Many people are now using HSAs and FSAs more creatively than intended for services such as meal plans and fitness trackers.
Goodstadt believes this option empowers people by providing more choices in using their HSA accounts effectively.
