Medical FSA - Eligible Expenses
Expenses are considered eligible for reimbursement from an FSA if the expense incurred is for the mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease and for treatments affecting the function of any part of the body. The expenses have to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness. Expenses solely for cosmetic reasons generally are not reimbursable through the FSA. Also, expenses that are merely beneficial to one's general health are not expenses that would be eligible. This list is to be used as a guide and is not all-inclusive.
Section 213(d) of the IRS Code governs what is and is not eligible. Please see IRS Publication 502 (included under 'Lists' on our website) for a detailed list of Medical and Dental expenses.
