Childbirth classes reimburseable under medical flex plan?

[Guest karlag]

Does anyone know if childbirth classes are reimburseable? I read on line from other companies that they are only if they address specific medical issues such as labor, delivery, breathing techniques, and nursing. Also, I have checked the IRS website and there is nothing that covers childbirth classes.

Any information would be great. Thanks

I have always heard that they are. It makes sense to specify "only if they address specific medical issues such as labor, delivery, breathing techniques, and nursing." That provision should be easy to satisfy each time, as that defines the typical chidbirth class.
