New Health Care Flexible Spending Account Expenses Table Available Online
A new online table featuring eligible/ineligible Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) expenses is now available. It includes:
- Color-coded icons to identify items as being a qualifying expense, not a qualifying expense, or a potentially qualifying expense. Potentially qualifying expenses are also explained.
- Over-the-counter (OTC) items that are clearly marked in a shaded row and with an OTC icon. Some OTC items are qualifying expenses (i.e., bandages), some are potentially qualifying expenses (i.e., an air purifier), and some are not qualifying expenses (i.e., hand lotion).
This valuable resource is available to everyone, not just current FSA participants, but you must sign in to the password-protected web site at hr.osu.edu/benefits/healthflex.htm, using your OSU name.#. Read the disclaimer at the top of the page for important copyright information.
Your next opportunity to enroll in an FSA will be during open enrollment in autumn quarter.
