Does my GenoPalate order qualify for FSA/HSA reimbursement?Updated 11 days ago

The IRS permits HSA/FSA accounts to reimburse "medical expenses" which generally include "amounts paid ... for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body." It has stated: "the term “diagnosis” encompasses the determination that a disease may or may not be present, and includes testing of changes to the function of the body that are unrelated to disease."

Based on this view, the IRS has informally ruled that genotyping (the process we use to identify and make recommendations for your best health) can be a "medical expense" where it "give[s] individuals a "deeper understanding of their health risks" and [encourages] individuals to provide the information to a healthcare provider for additional testing, diagnosis, or treatment."
