Who else thinks that Russia bears walking the streets, and the vodka flows like water?
And anyone can know that in this country the most beautiful girls?

When submitting your copies of prescription costs for FSA reimbursement from the pharmacy can you block out the name of the medication? If submitting this back to you HR department wouldn't that information fall under HIPPA guidelines? I started to fill this out for my husbands' FSA and it says they need to know the names of the medication? Why is that?

I think the author may be mistaken about being reimbursed for health insurance premiums as long as you do not already pay them pre-tax. It is clearly listed in IRS publication 502 as a deductible expense.

What happens when the FSA plan administrator abuses the audit of your expenses and freezes your account so you can't use your money?

A recent health-impact study by the Lewin Group suggests that the use of some dietary supplements could actually lower health care expenditures.

According to an article I found in 2003 President George Bush supported allowing employees to roll-over their funds. Below is a section of the same article: HR 3105, a measure introduced
by Rep. Edward Royce (R-CA), which would permit
employees to carry-over their unused flexible
spending account funds for future use. This would
encourage more employees to participate, as well
as allow workers to save for future medical expenses
including COBRA and retirement expenses. We
encourage you to ask your member of Congress to
co-sponsor HR 3105, and to ask your Senators, the
U.S. Treasury Department and the President to support
the carry-over of flexible spending account funds.
