One question we often hear is: “Can Medicare or Medicaid help cover the cost of the Kanega Watch?”
Currently, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover the cost of the Kanega Watch. However, there is good news, you can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to purchase it.
Why FSA and HSA Funds ApplyThe IRS considers medical alert systems like the Kanega Watch an eligible medical expense under most FSA and HSA programs. This means you can use your pre-tax dollars to help cover the cost of both:
- The Watch and Battery System (one-time device purchase)
- The Monthly Monitoring Service (subscription fee that powers emergency response, fall detection, and more)
By using FSA or HSA dollars, you’re lowering your out-of-pocket, after-tax costs, which makes the Kanega Watch even more affordable.
