Why

What the IRS rules say

A thermometer is a medical device used to detect fever and monitor illness, which makes it an eligible medical expense. Digital, forehead, and ear thermometers all qualify.

Based on IRS Publication 502.

How to pay with FSA/HSA

You have two options. Swipe your FSA or HSA card at checkout and it comes straight out of your benefits, or pay your own way, keep the receipt, and file for reimbursement. Either works.
