Are Erectile Dysfunction Treatments FSA/HSA Eligible?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects more than 30 million men in the United States. While it’s a common medical condition, the financial side of treatment often raises questions, especially when it comes to payment flexibility.

But thanks to FSAs (flexible spending accounts) and HSAs (health savings accounts), you can get help managing out-of-pocket medical costs. If you’ve ever wondered whether treatments for erectile dysfunction are FSA eligible, the short answer is yes—but only if your treatment meets the IRS definition of “medically necessary.”

Luckily, patients often come to InjectCo seeking clarity on this topic, and it’s easy to understand why. Let’s break down exactly how these programs work and how you can use them for ED treatments that are clinically approved and medically indicated.

How FSA and HSA Accounts Work

Both FSA and HSA accounts help you save money on medical expenses by allowing you to use pre-tax dollars. Here’s how they differ:

An FSA is an employer-sponsored account that allows you to set aside money for eligible health expenses throughout the year. However, it typically follows a “use it or lose it” rule. Any unspent funds usually expire at the end of the year. 

Understanding your plan’s rules and deadlines is important to maximize your FSA funds and avoid losing any savings.

An HSA, on the other hand, is available if you’re enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. The funds in your HSA roll over from year to year and can even grow tax-free if invested. 

A health savings account offers a tax-advantaged way to manage medical expenses and pay for a variety of health-related products and services.

You can usually use either funds for qualified medical expenses, such as:

• Prescription medications such as sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis)
• In-office consultations and diagnostic tests
• FDA-approved medical devices or injectables used for treatment

However, you can’t use FSA or HSA funds for:

• Over-the-counter supplements
• Herbal performance enhancers
• Procedures done for enhancement or cosmetic reasons

Are Erectile Dysfunction Treatments FSA/HSA Eligible?

The IRS defines “medically necessary” as care needed to diagnose, treat, or prevent a medical condition. Treatments for diagnosed ED typically qualify under this rule, as long as a licensed medical professional prescribes them. 

Only treatments that are considered qualified medical expenses are eligible for reimbursement. But it’s also important to note that not all ED treatment qualifies automatically. 

Here’s a breakdown of the common options you may be able to use your FSA funds for, if they meet the criteria for qualified medical expenses:

• Prescription Medications: Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are typically eligible when prescribed for medical ED. Always keep your prescription and receipts.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or P-Shot: This may qualify if prescribed for diagnosed ED and documented by your provider. If used only for sexual performance enhancement, most plan administrators will deny reimbursement.
• Shockwave or Acoustic Wave Therapy: This treatment may be ineligible since it’s often labelled as “experimental.” Some HSA/FSA providers might approve it if backed by a clinical diagnosis.
• Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): TRT is covered when medically indicated for low testosterone contributing to ED. It requires lab results and medical notes.
• Sex Therapy or Counselling: Sessions with a licensed therapist are eligible when prescribed as part of a treatment plan for ED.

So, if you’re asking, “Can I use HSA for ED therapies like PRP or TRT?” the answer depends on your medical diagnosis and the documentation provided by your provider.

Documentation to Claim FSA/HSA Reimbursement

To avoid claim rejection, always have:

• A Letter of Medical Necessity from your provider
• A detailed invoice or receipt with treatment codes
• Proof of diagnosis or test results when applicable

FSA administrators confirm that specialized procedures like PRP may require pre-approval or additional documentation. Always check before treatment.
