Flexible Spending Accounts and Massage
Studies have shown that employees on average lose approximately $100 annually in forfeited balances within their employee Medical Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) because any money remaining in your flexible spending account on Dec 31 disappears – right into the pockets of your employer.
Did you know that Massage Therapy is reimbursable under a Medical Flexible Spending Account? All you need is a medical practitioner’s note to verify medical necessity. Well, isn’t it a medical necessity that you get a massage for your shoulder and back pain? And isn’t it a medical necessity that you get a massage to help decrease your stress and anxiety?
A medical practitioner note may be written by your primary care doctor, dentist, podiatrist, optometrist, a chiropractor, or other qualified medical practitioner. It never hurts to ask. You just have to do it before December 31.
