If you manage diabetes or circulation issues, comfortable, medically supportive socks are more than just a wardrobe choice — they’re an essential part of daily health care. Fortunately, many of these socks, especially diabetic and compression stockings, are considered HSA-and FSA-approved (Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account eligible).

That means you can use tax-free healthcare dollars to invest in high-quality, medically beneficial socks that protect your feet, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of complications.

At Diabetic Sock Club, we create socks designed explicitly for foot health, comfort, and safety. From our Ultra-Soft Upper Calf Diabetic Socks to our Over The Calf Compression Stocking Socks, every pair is made to support people living with diabetes, neuropathy, or circulation challenges.

Let’s break down what HSA-approved socks are, how you can use your account to buy them, and which Diabetic Sock Club styles qualify.

What Does “HSA Approved” Mean?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that allows you to set aside money for qualified medical expenses. These funds can be used for a wide range of healthcare needs, including:

• Prescription medications

• Preventive care items

• Medical equipment

• Diabetic supplies

• Compression therapy products

When a product is labeled as HSA-approved or FSA-eligible, it means it has a medical function recognized as eligible under IRS guidelines — generally because it helps treat, manage, or prevent a health condition.

For people with diabetes, neuropathy, or swelling, diabetic socks and compression socks often fall under these categories.

HSA/FSA Eligibility Disclaimer⚠️

Many diabetic and compression socks are commonly considered HSA- and FSA-eligible because they help manage medical conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, edema, and circulation issues. However, eligibility can vary by plan.

Your HSA/FSA provider may:

• Approve diabetic socks automatically

• Require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a healthcare provider

• Request itemized receipts

• Need confirmation that socks are for medical use, not general comfort

Diabetic Sock Club cannot guarantee reimbursement, as approval depends on your individual plan.

To avoid issues, always check with your HSA/FSA plan administrator before purchasing.

Why Diabetic Socks Are HSA-Approved

Diabetic socks aren’t regular socks — they are considered therapeutic apparel. They qualify because they are designed to:

• Improve blood flow

• Reduce friction and pressure points

• Protect sensitive skin

• Wick moisture to prevent infections

• Support foot health for people with diabetes or circulation problems

Because these socks serve a medical purpose, many HSA/FSA programs recognize them as eligible for reimbursement.

How to Use HSA Funds to Buy Socks

Buying HSA-approved socks is simple:

1. Add HSA-eligible diabetic or compression socks to your cart.

2. Use your HSA or FSA debit card at checkout.

3. Save your receipt in case your plan requests documentation.

That’s it! Still, when in doubt, your benefits provider can confirm coverage.
