Flex medical- does anyone use for supplements

March 30, 2001

Hey all:

Does anyone have a flexible spending acount through their job? We have this

as a benefit at our job and I use it. I am wondering...if I have

prescriptions for the supplements that we use, could I get re-embursed for

this expense? BTW...flex acounts are money that is taken out of your

paycheck, pre-tax, in this case to be used for medical expenses. I also use

the daycare flex acount and do not pay tax on money I spend on daycare. If

anyone does use this program to get re-embursed, could you e-mail me

privately to discuss how you went about it?

Thank you so much.

My husband has this type of account through his work and I contacted the

company in writing and asked many questions about supplements, gf/cf food

products and they responded to me in writing so that I have it documented.

Every time I submit the claim form I send a copy of their letter since they

seem to have new people working there all the time. This saves you the

hassle of receiving a denied claim and them from having to do extra work.

Also, our doctor wrote a letter stating that my child needs to be on the

gf/cf diet and the supplements are helping.

It is working out just fine.

LOL
