Healthcare Flexible Spending Account

Reimbursed items cannot be claimed again on an income tax return.  Please note: Insurance premiums are not reimbursed through this benefit. Premiums are covered under the group health and supplemental premiums benefit, not the Healthcare FSA, and are remitted directly to the provider on the participant's behalf.

Chard Snyder is also pleased to provide the EBIA's Health Care Expenses Table classifying over 300 common health care expenses as "qualifying," "not qualifying," or "potentially qualifying" for the Healthcare FSA, HRA or employer sponsored HSA.  Numerous OTC items are included as well.  Please click here to access this list or review the list below for some basic guidelines for determining eligible and ineligible expenses under your plan.
