Can I use my HSA funds to pay a bill for my husband?

[ef2210]

Before getting married, I had a high deductible plan with an HSA. I didn’t use all the funds, and am now married on my husband’s insurance(not HD). Can I use funds in my HSA to pay a dental bill he received? Or are those funds strictly for my use since he was never on my plan?

Yes, you may use your HSA contributions to pay for eligible medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents (even if the spouse and dependents are not covered under your High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)).

My fiancé had to use an ambulance in November. Then we got married and received his ambulance bill in the mail. Can I use my HSA on this? Thanks!
