  2. Build better habits based on your personalized recommendations and health goals

Optum Store

We want to make it easy for you to make the most of your Flexible Savings Account (FSA). The Optum Store offers the best of everyday wellness solutions at everyday prices – so your FSA dollars may go further.

What is the Optum Store?

An integrated health and care marketplace, the Optum store is here for:

  • A large selection of health & wellness and over-the-counter (OTC) products
  • Hassle-free search and payment for Health Savings Account (HAS)/Flexible Savings Account (FSA)-eligible products
  • A constantly expanding assortment of trusted brands at competitive prices

What products will I find there?

You’ll find a variety of health & wellness options for the family, including:

  • OTC medications like allergy, first aid and cold & flu products
  • Personal care products such as skin care, oral and feminine care
  • Medical devices and diagnostics, including testing products

How do I pay for items or services at the Store?

Pay for products without jumping through hoops, using your FSA or a credit card (no insurance needed).

The process is easy, too. Your shopping cart separates out eligible and non-eligible products, and your account conveniently stores your FSA/HSA card or standard credit card for quick checkout.

Preventive care

Good health starts with prevention, and preventive care should start early in the year, by scheduling your annual checkup.

It’s important

Getting recommended preventive care helps you check in with your health – and helps paint the most accurate picture of your health overall. In other words, regular preventive care helps you find the small things before they become big things.

It’s covered

Whichever plan you choose, it covers preventive care for $0 out of pocket when you see a network doctor. If you need diagnostic care, by contrast, you may have to pay, depending on your coverage.

Preventive care
Annual checkups, routine screenings and immunizations to help prevent health problems

Vs.

Diagnostic care
Treatment when you have symptoms or an existing condition

Don’t forget preventive screenings
