Whether Santa was practical or extravagant this year, don’t forget about your Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses, including items like airway clearance equipment.
Some people manage just fine with a single Aerobika and nebulizer cup, but for me, having multiple sets has been a huge plus. It eased my daily burden of managing bronchiectasis- a huge win‼️ Adding a steam baby bottle sterilizer to the mix further enhanced this newfound sense of freedom. That said, not everyone finds these extras necessary. If you prefer to keep it simple, just remember to change your tubing regularly—most of us do it monthly, as recommended by National Jewish Health. If you have an Ombra nebulizer, you can find tubing replacements at SaveRite Medical. Before the year wraps up, check with your HSA provider to see what expenses are covered and whether your benefits roll over to next year. If they don’t, now’s the perfect time to let your fingers do the shopping—before you settle in for holiday movies and leftovers! #HSA #HealthSavingsAccount
