What can I purchase with my FSA or HSA at ViTAC Solutions?
As long as your FSA or HSA is affiliated with a major credit
card, ViTAC Solutions accepts FSA or HSA dollars for various essential items and services. This includes a range of first aid kits and medical supplies tailored for different needs.
If you wish to use your FSA or HSA card for part of your purchase and cover the rest with a different card, please email us at info@vitacsolutions.com.

can email us at info@vitacsolutions.com for assistance.
