Body Scan

Body scan reimbursement is eligible even if the individual is not experiencing symptoms of illness and has not obtained a doctor's recommendation before undergoing the procedure because it is considered diagnosis under the IRS definition of medical care. It is still eligible even if less expensive alternatives exist. Body scan reimbursement is eligible with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Body scan reimbursement is not eligible with a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA) or a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA).

The above list of eligible items is maintained by HSA Store and FSA Store. Qualified medical expenses are defined by the IRS and may change at any time. You can reference IRS Publication 502 and IRS Publication 503 for the full list of expenses that are qualified, are not qualified, and may be qualified based on certain circumstances. Your employer may determine which health and care expenses are eligible under your plan. Refer to your plan documents for more details. Consult your tax adviser if you have questions about qualified medical expenses.<=footnote>
