Anyone know??
January 1 the money drops and no planned surgeries or babies this year to pay for so would not mind a little float therapy.

Oh, good idea. I doubt it will work but I'd love to be proven wrong.

IDK probably in the same category as gun therapy.

If not, a self directed HSA should be a potential option.

If one has money in it.
Both boys had to have surgery and we had a third baby so the money was gone long ago.
I am looking forward to the drop of the new funds come January 1.

Sorry, I misread the original post. I thought you were talking about 2017 money in the account was going to drop (be lost). We have a surgery tentatively planned for first quarter, so the grace period is on my mind.

Not sure what float therapy is, but if you can get a medical letter saying you need it for a condition, you may be able to swing it. Here's the deal with respect to massage, per USA Today

Q: What about for stress reduction?

A: If stress is causing other diagnosed medical conditions, treatments may be paid for with an HSA with a letter of medical necessity from a doctor. Improvement of mental health or relief of stress is generally not covered. For example, the costs of a massage just to improve general health do not qualify. However, if the massage therapy is recommended by a physician to treat a specific injury or trauma, then it would qualify with a letter of medical necessity.

Think some may call it a decompression chamber. I a dark pod full of super salt water.
