Medical flexible spending account participants may be surprised to learn several everyday items are reimbursement eligible.

• Child friendly items, such as first aid supplies, hand sanitizer, Mighty Patch Acne treatments and facial cleansing wipes, and lip balm with SPF of 15 or higher.
• Other over-the-counter (OTC) products, including blood pressure monitors, diabetic supplies, contact lens solution, menstrual care products, sunscreen, drugs and medicines are just a few of the eligible OTC items.

Itemized receipts are required by ASIFlex to verify expenses when using the ASIFlex debit card.

FSAstore.com

All items sold at the FSA store are eligible for Flex spending account reimbursement.

Flexible spending elections and open enrollment

Flexible spending elections must be made each year during open enrollment (Nov. 1-Dec. 1) through the MoCafe/ASIFlex site, not the benefits enrollment site.
