Does anyone know if the cost of an emergency cellular phone would be eligible for someone with diabetes under the FSA plan?

Thank you!!

I don't know for sure , but my opinion is that because it is not used to treat or prevent an illness I wouldn't allow it in any FSA plan I administered.

Any cell phone can always be used to dial 911. You don't have to have a service contract, just the phone and a charged battery. There are agencies that will provide the phones to people in need.

It certainly doesn't seem to satisfy the "but, for" rule. You would not have the item but for the specific medical condition.
