A Fixed Spending Account or FSA is a healthcare plan provided by your employer at his discretion. This plan enables you to use your pre-tax salary for qualified medical expenses, co-payments, or dependent care expenditures. You can lower your taxable income by contributing to this ‘tax-advantaged account’.
Buying ostomy supplies with your FSA wallet is a good option as these needs are recurring. Once you have undergone ostomy surgery you will need stoma bags, stoma skin-care, and other accessories regularly. When you use a specific brand daily, you start to trust the brand. That is why SHOP OSTOMY SUPPLIES offers ostomy care supplies from a wide range of industry-renowned brands. Using an FSA for recurring medical expenses that are well-renowned is a great idea. It will save you from being confused about your un-used FSA money at the end of the year.
Ostomy care supplies are necessary for those who are living with a colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy. With a wide range of ostomy care, you will be able to choose the right product and enable yourself to lead a normal life. We make sure that you always have enough choices for your medical condition and offer every product and accessory you need for complete stoma care.
Here are a few ways to spend your FSA funds after ostomy surgery:
Ostomy bags or pouches are used to store the drainage from the body and need to be changed regularly. These bags come in two types- drainable and closed. Ostomy pouches are designed in three forms – transparent, opaque, and clear. It is completely your choice to wear ostomy pouches that support your needs for monitoring, swimming, traveling, etc. If you are living with an ostomy then lose your FSA wallet a bit for your own safety and quality of life in buying ostomy bags.
Skin barriers/wafers are placed over the stoma that adheres to the skin to form a seal that protects your skin from complications. These skin barriers come in different shapes and sizes to fit your body type easily. Skin wafers provide contour to uneven skin and help to carry the ostomy bag efficiently.
It is very important to keep the skin around your stoma healthy and prevent it from infection. The procedure of wearing an ostomy bag involves the use of adhesives, adhesive removers (wipes and spray), and adhesive discs. Adhesives are used to adhere ostomy appliances to the skin and care should be taken while applying them. Skin-friendly powder, paste, and protectants are available at SHOP OSTOMY SUPPLIES to protect skin while dressing with a stoma bag. Use your FSA to buy these skincare accessories as your skin should remain healthy, free from irritation, and protected from infection.
