Dietary Supplements Access Act
Dietary Supplements: HSA and FSA Coverage
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means. It is in the early stages of the lawmaking process and is still considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has bipartisan support from both Republicans and Democrats, which helps its chances. However, many tax-related bills struggle to get a full vote unless they are part of a larger package.
Key Points
- This bill would let people use tax-free money from health accounts like HSAs and FSAs to buy vitamins and other dietary supplements. Currently, these accounts usually only cover supplements if a doctor prescribes them for a specific medical condition.
- If passed, individuals could spend up to $500 each year on these products using their health accounts. Married couples filing taxes separately would be limited to $250 each.
- The plan covers most standard supplements but specifically excludes items like energy drinks, sodas, and soft drinks. It uses the official government definition of what counts as a dietary supplement to decide what is covered.
- This change would apply to money spent after the end of 2025. It aims to make it cheaper for families to stay healthy by using pre-tax dollars for wellness products they already buy regularly.
