We have authorization (HSA/FSA Merchant Category Code - 5047 Medical Supplies) to process HSA and FSA debit cards directly on our website (YAYYYYYYY).
Please note that the majority of our products and partner products qualify under the IRS "Lactation Expenses as Medical Expenses" authorization (Announcement 2011-14) but not everything we sell qualifies. Specifically, you may be able to use your HSA/FSA for:
• Breast pump bags with cooler compartments
• Breastfeeding bras
• Breastmilk cooler bags, wet/dry bags and organizer bags that have cooler bag capabilities
• Ceres Chill breastmilk chillers (coolers)
• Spare breastmilk ice packs for cooler bags
The types of items that may not qualify are: stickers, non-breastfeeding clothing (waterbottles, luggage tags), etc. If the products do not "assist lactation" they do not qualify. In this case you'll need to check out with those items separately using a standard payment method.
Please know that while we are authorized to accept HSA/FSA cards for eligible products, the decision to approve or deny a transaction is up to the card issuers and HSA/FSA plan. Your plan and card can still decline your purchase through our site, even if you're buying an eligible product. (For instance, some plans might require you to only purchase through a pharmacy provider that they partner with.)
If your card gets declined, or it is accepted but you are asked for additional information to substantiate the purchase, please reach out to us at customerservice@sarahwellsbags.com. We may not be able to facilitate that payment method through, but we can provide you with an itemized receipt and other information that you can use to validate the purchase and/or request a reimbursement after purchase with a standard payment method.
I'm so thrilled to announce that my first book published on August 13, 2024 (Matt Holt an Imprint of BenBella Books).
Go Ask Your Mothers: One Simple Step for Managers to Support Working Moms for Team Success is a groundbreaking book for leaders to create a mom-supportive workplace
Meet Amanda, a new mom and nurse in a critical care unit, who had to quit her job because the lactation room was too far away.
Learn about Patricia, who thought she was successfully hiding how crazy she felt until one day, four months postpartum, she had a panic attack in front of her coworkers that sent her to the emergency room.
Together, we'll explore the pervasive problem in American businesses with devastating consequences: Managers aren’t asking postpartum or new mothers what support they need to transition back to work, and mom employees are afraid to ask for help, resulting in poor employment outcomes for both. Sarah presents a simple and inexpensive solution to this workplace crisis.
