Avoid Misinformation About Tax-Favored Health Accounts
Do you have a health Flexible Spending Account, Health Savings Account, or similar plan through your employer? Avoid misinformation about tax-favored health accounts that could lead to serious mistakes.
Nonmedical nutrition, wellness, and exercise expenses that aren’t explicitly related to a medical diagnosis or treatment aren’t reimbursable under these plans. But that hasn’t stopped certain bad actors from offering to provide a “doctor’s note” (for a price) that they claim would authorize health reimbursement plans to accept ineligible expenses, such as for nonmedical food that doesn’t satisfy normal nutritional needs.
