FSA-Eligible Expense

FSA対象経費 (FSA taishō keihi)

An FSA-eligible expense is a medical, dental, or vision cost that qualifies for payment using Flexible Spending Account funds. The IRS determines which expenses qualify. Eligible items include deductibles, copays, coinsurance, prescription medications, eyeglasses and contact lenses, dental work, medical equipment, and many over-the-counter medicines (without a prescription, thanks to the CARES Act). Non-eligible expenses include cosmetic procedures, gym memberships, and non-medical items. The FSA administrator or IRS Publication 502 provides the complete list.

Using FSA funds for eligible expenses effectively reduces their after-tax cost by the amount of the enrollee's marginal tax rate.
