Guest jpastwick Posted July 23, 2001 Posted July 23, 2001 Hello - We have a participant who submitted a central home HEPA-filtration system, recommended by their physician, for reimbursement under their Health Care FSA. I know that air conditioners and humidifiers are eligible if by recommendation by a physician. I am not clear on air filtration, however; the last "list" of ineligible expenses I was able to obtain (for 1999-2000) shows air filtration not eligible even if recommended. If there is no other documentation out there on filtration systems, which says "No" to reimbursement, could this be reimbursed under "capital expenses" since it is a central system for the home? Thanks!
SLuskin Posted July 25, 2001 Posted July 25, 2001 I am finding "Yes" to air purifiers, but only if prescribed by a physician to treat a specific medical condition such as a severe allergy. IRS Private Letter Ruling 8009080. It should be the same thing.
GBurns Posted July 26, 2001 Posted July 26, 2001 What is this list of "ineligible expenses"? How is it related to an FSA? George D. Burns Cost Reduction Strategies Burns and Associates, Inc www.costreductionstrategies.com(under construction) www.employeebenefitsstrategies.com(under construction)
