Your FSA eligible health care expenses are things that are not being covered by insurance, of course, your FSA plan may include many more services and items than just the “ones” not covered by the insurance. Also, you are not going to be the only one to benefit from your FSA fund, but your spouse, children, and anyone that qualifies as an eligible dependent. However, to know which specific services and items are covered by your FSA, you’ll have to check all of your account’s specifics with your employer or plan’s administrator. While some plans may include making direct payments to healthcare providers, many of the providers themselves will offer you an FSA card to make direct purchases just like you’d do with any regular card.
This can be quite convenient for you as it’d ease direct purchases, as well as online purchases a lot. In addition, we will check some of the FSA eligible items and services.
