Flexible spending account ?

Has anyone used their FSA for fertility tx? Our open enrollment begins on Monday. I figure since I'll spend about $4000 for our FET, I should sign up. Since all treatment isn't covered by insurance, I'm curious if the FSA will reimburse for it. Anyone know?

    Check your company's policy for what is/isn't covered. If they'll cover those meds/procedures, go for it. If memory serves, it paid for some of our IF tx.

    Ok I emailed the HR/benefits person. This was her response. "?The FSA covers all non-insurance reimbursed expenses for medical, dental, vision with the exception of over the counter medications. ". Sounds like I'm good to go!

    We have maxed ours at most years with IF treatments.  Glad you can use yours!

    I thought the IRS set what could/could not be covered under FSA plans but I may be wrong?

    I've used mine before - not sure exactly which bills I submitted though.  I just submitted the receipts.  I heard it should reimburse for them but haven't checked myself.

    My understanding was you can use FSA for IF stuff.  However, if you do that then you can't deduct it on your taxes.

    Definitely do it. I got reimbursed for all my drugs that are not covered by insurance. It was about $800 worth of meds for 1 month. Its totally worth it.
