What is an eligible flexible spending account (FSA) expense?

An eligible expense is any healthcare or dependent care expense approved by the IRS for reimbursement through the plan. These eligible expenses are often the same expenses allowed for income tax return deductions. However, expenses reimbursed through a Flexible Spending Account cannot be itemized and resubmitted through an income tax return and you may not use your benefit card or be reimbursed for expenses that occurred before the beginning of the Flexible Spending Account plan year. Eligible expenses include items and services incurred by the employee, their spouse and any eligible dependents. You may not use your Flexible Spending Account for pre-payment of services. Click the links to view eligible expenses for each type of Flexible Spending Account:
