What expenses are eligible for tax-free reimbursement from a Health Care FSA?
The Health Care FSA can be used for out-of-pocket health care expenses incurred by you, your spouse/registered domestic partner, or eligible dependents. To be eligible for tax-free reimbursement from your Health Care FSA, expenses cannot be covered by any other benefit plan. In general, expenses that are eligible for reimbursement are medical, dental, and vision expenses incurred for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of disease, a physical or mental condition, or an injury. Examples of ineligible expenses: Any amount that is eligible for reimbursement from another source, such as other insurance or Medicare; expenses for which you take an itemized deduction on your federal income tax return; personal care items, cosmetic services and supplies, including hair transplants, cosmetic orthodontia, liposuction, or other cosmetic surgery; weight reduction programs for general health; marriage/family counseling.
