Great news! ☺️ Yes, travel or transportation for medical care is eligible for reimbursement with a health savings account (HSA)!

For your travel to be considered an eligible expense, it must be directly related to receiving medical care. If you drive an hour to visit a specialist, the associated travel expenses would be eligible.

You can also request reimbursement for travel expenses when seeking medical care for a dependent. If a child or spouse needs you to take them to an appointment or accompany them on public transportation, you can submit a claim for these costs as well.

A few examples of covered costs:

As with any eligible expense, you'll need documentation for reimbursement. With travel expenses, you'll likely need more than just your receipts to provide proof that the travel was medically necessary (e.g., a bill or doctor's letter proving that you did receive medical care while on the trip). Save those receipts!!
