Now Available: HSA Eligible Masks and More Approved PPE

Over the past year, personal protective equipment (PPE) has become an everyday essential that your health savings account (HSA) has long overlooked. Luckily, there’s been a big change. Now you can defend against the spread of COVID-19 with all new HSA eligible masks, hand sanitizer, and hand sanitizing wipes now available at HSAstore.com!

With over 115 million Americans fully vaccinated (roughly 34% of the total U.S. population, and growing) COVID-19 is still very much a threat to other parts of the world, as well as our elderly and immunocompromised loved ones. That means that protecting yourself by preventing the spread of germs and bacteria is a step we can all take in the fight against the threat of COVID-19. 

When considering your newly eligible PPE purchases, keep these helpful tips in mind to help slow the spread:

Hand Sanitizer

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends washing your hands with soap and water to reduce the transmission of germs, but when not accessible, hand sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60%-95% are an effective way to prevent the spread of germs.

Masks

Those with COVID-19 who do not develop symptoms (otherwise referred to as asymptomatic) and those who aren't yet showing symptoms, or pre-symptomatic, can still spread the virus to others, according to the CDC. Wearing a mask and using other personal protective equipment can prevent spreading to others.

Hand Sanitizing Wipes

Sanitizing wipes make it easy to regularly disinfect your hands. They can be an effective solution for reducing the risk of cross-contamination, or the spreading of germs and bacteria.
