Can I request reimbursement from my flexible spending account for services I receive before the plan year begins, if I am not billed until after the plan year starts?
No. According to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines, a qualified expense is “incurred” at the time the service is provided, not when you are billed (or charged) or actually pay for this service. Therefore, reimbursements made during a plan year are only made for eligible expenses incurred during that same plan year.
