FSA reimbursement of nutritional counseling

[French]

We will be offering nutritional counseling with an on-site dietician as part of our "wellness" programs. From what I have read, unless these services have been prescribed by an MD for treatment of a specific medical condition, they would not be reimbursable. Is my interpretation correct or is there some wiggle room?

That is what I am doing, as long as the doctor's letter is on file stating that it is for medical necessity, then I am reimbursing. I only have one case that is like that. When in dought, I always ask for a doctor's letter.
