The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and chances are that you still have funds remaining in your health insurance FLEX Spending Account (FSA).

Now is the time to consider the FSA ‘use-it-or-lose-it’ rule, which states that money left in your Flex Account at the end of the year is forfeited.

So, why should you throw away your hard-earned dollars when they can be put to good use on acupuncture services to benefit your health and wellness?

That’s right! In most cases, the Standard FSA (the type of plan offered by most employers), lists acupuncture services as eligible for reimbursement. Over the years, many of my patients have paid for their acupuncture sessions using their FLEX Plan charge or debit cards, and you may be able to do so as well.
