How are orthodontic expenses reimbursed?
Orthodontic expenses are eligible to be reimbursed in the same way as any other medical expense. However, because such treatments generally cover an extended period of time, you have the option of scheduling monthly reimbursements rather than payment up front. In addition, if your current election does not cover the total expense of the treatment(s), it can be reimbursed over multiple plan years as long as the treatment dates occur during those years.
