Q&A: Participants: Eligible Expenses
« BackQuestion: Are expenses for massage therapy eligible under the Health FSA?
Answer:
Massage therapy is generally not eligible for reimbursement unless prescribed by a doctor to treat a specific injury or trauma. The cost of a massage simply to improve general health is not eligible. If prescribed to treat a specific condition, a physician's statement indicating the condition and treatment required should be submitted.
