FSA/HSA coverage for vitamins/supplements etc...

[Heathernyc 9]

Hey folks!

Happy new year and I hope you all had a great holiday! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience covering their Vitamins, supplements etc... through an fsa account. I know they ask for a medical necessity letter from your doctor. Just curious if this worked for anyone. I added 1k to my account this year and I'm afraid I won't get much use out of it outside of these things.

I had my surgeon's staff write a Letter of Medical Necessity and my FSA covers my Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins and Calcium supplements for one year. They also wrote a letter for Protein Shakes, but my FSA denied that since it considers Protein shakes food replacement.

yes - you just need a letter from your clinic saying they're medically necessary
