Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are an excellent way to save money on your everyday medical expenses. There are many over-the-counter digestive-related items that you can pay for using your FSA. Some items you can get reimbursed for without a prescription, but most items need a prescription from a physician. Check with your insurance provider and your FSA provider if you have any questions. Your physician can also be of help when it comes to making the most of your coverage and eligible expenses.
