Final approval is up to your administrator. Eligibility on this page is based on IRS Publication 502 and common administrator practice. Reimbursement is not guaranteed — your specific FSA/HSA administrator decides whether to approve any individual claim. DoctorNoted prepares documentation; the approval decision is theirs.
