postbio Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have funds in a Health Savings Account (HSA) tied to a high deductible low premium medical plan. This is not a “Flexible” Savings Account that rolls over annually. Do you know if heavy-duty knee and elbow braces by Leatt or explicitly sporting companies are eligible? How about other protective equipment like helmets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy510 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Technically a knee brace, not a knee pad or guard, should be covered but it can be a grey area. If you can get someone to write you a Rx or a letter of medical necessity you shouldn't have any problems but every plan can be different. Worst thing they can do is say no. Not much chance for a helmet reimbursement unless you need it for walking around during daily activities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postbio Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks @Willy510! I think I might just spend the money and Leatt C-Frames and pay any penalties later. I'm starting to hit the mid-20s mph after about 500 miles in. I fear that if I don't get knee braces preemptively, will need them eventually post operation anyways, lol.

Circuitmage Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Be careful. One day when I started getting comfortable a year or 2 ago...I hit 2 cars in one day. Motorcycle safety comes into play when you are speeding by driveways and road hazards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
