What medical expenses are covered by a Flexible Spending Account?

Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) can cover a surprising range of medical treatments and could be a wise choice.

Here are a few treatments you may not have known are covered:

1. Chiropractic Care

While some insurance companies may view chiropractic care as an alternative method to treat sports injuries, chronic pain and other disorders, your FSA can certainly cover this type of care. Whether you decide to use a chiropractor as a complement or direct solution to a medical problem, your FSA will give you the freedom to choose which treatment method is the best course for your needs.

2. Acupuncture

Studies in recent decades have shed light on the positive health benefits of acupuncture, as it is seen as a strong treatment option for arthritis and other chronic pain issues.

Acupuncture has been known to ease back aches, reduce anxiety, soothe indigestion and even treat persistent headaches. These treatments are covered by an FSA and typically not recognized as a conventional treatment by most insurance companies.

3. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been known to treat sports injuries, joint pain, headaches, insomnia related to stress, fibromyalgia and many other conditions. If your doctor provides you with a Letter of Medical Necessity for a massage regime to treat and existing medical condition, it will be covered by your FSA.

This is just scratching the surface of just how far your FSA can go to cover a huge range of medical products, services and specialists.
