Eligible health care expenses are those which
would normally be deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes (without regard to
adjusted gross income limitations). Expenses incurred by you, your spouse
or your dependents which are not reimbursed from another source (ex. insurance)
are eligible for reimbursement. Included are:
- Medical and dental expenses which are
covered but not paid by insurance (deductible amounts paid before benefits
begin and the percentage of charges not covered).
- Fees paid to Medical Doctors,
Chiropractors and Hospitals (Co-pays).
- Vision and hearing expenses including
examinations, eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids and seeing eye dogs.
- Dental care including braces.
- Routine physical examinations, x-rays,
lab fees.
- Prescription drugs including insulin
and birth control pills.
- Over the Counter Medicine (Tylenol,
Advil, Tums, Cold Medicine, etc.)
- Special equipment bought or rented
because of a medical problem (must be prescribed and medically necessary).
- Ambulance service and other
transportation costs necessary to receive medical care.
For more information, IRS publication 502,
"Medical and Dental Expenses", is available for viewing and download
from the IRS website.
