Can you pay for Medicare Insurance through an FSA?
Yes, you can pay your Medicare Part B or Part D premiums using funds from your Flexible Spending Account (FSA). If you have an FSA, you must also have an employer-based plan. So Medicare Part B and Part D might be unnecessary, since your employer plan probably already covers hospital services and prescription drugs. Nevertheless, you can pay for your Medicare coverage with FSA funds.

Medicare Part A covers hospital services. Medicare Part B covers services by other providers such as physicians.
