Posted: 2/18/2012 1:57:04 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I've got around $500 I overestimated in my Healthcare Flexible Spending Account that will disappear to the the credit card company July 1. Any way to spend it without breaking any "rules". These guys are fairly hawkish with receipts, I accidentally paid for items that were a few days outside the account window and they caught it right away. Pretty sure they'll review every purchase..... I don't need anything medically, at least right now.

Don't know if it would be covered, but I bought a sinupulse elite and it kicks ass when my allergies start acting up. It really clears up your sinus cavities.

On my plan atleast, dependent care is a seperate alotment. OP, I'm pretty sure you can claim transportation costs. Not sure what you can claim per mile though.

OTC medicines (not supplements) can be purchased with FSA money also. New glasses. Get a physical or 12 (eenie meenie minie mo, I wonder where my glove will go). Go to a chiropractor and get all straightened out. I can't think of anything else, unless you are sick and need some Rx.

Posted: 3/3/2012 1:58:19 PM Yep... I set aside some money in my FSA the other year because I knew I was gonna get a root canal in the months following. I ended up overestimating by about 3-400 bucks. Was told over the counter stuff buyable on the plan. So I thought no biggy, just load the F up on supplies. Obama care pops up half way through. Company changes their policy mid term. I got fucked outa that money.
