FSA Surplus?

[athompson]

We ended up with an extra $480 in our FSA (health plan flexible spending account) and I went to drugstore.com and found several FSA eligible items that I didn't know about. Thought others might be able to use this information.

Tea Tree oil (certain brands/types)
Goodnites
A couple of Burt's Bees products (bug bite stick, muscle mend, poison ivy soap, diaper wash)
A couple of California Baby products (diaper cream, diaper area wash etc.)
Badger Headache soother
Pre-natal vitamins (some with Omega 3)

Here's a link to their FSA store:

You can google a code for $10 off.

Shipping is free over $25.

The trick is to get the order in quick, so that they'll process and ship before the New Year.

Pregnancy tests are covered too, FYI. And if you need to stock up on anything like advil/aspirin/tylenol, now is a good time.

We usually make sure to stock the first aid kit with any end of year surplus to our FSA.

Others that I was surprised by/didn't know about:
Dehumidifier
Temple thermometer

Along with various first aid things I also bought a heating pad & lanolosh.

I tried to get Goodnites reimbursed by my FSA and they said I would need a doctor's note to get reimbursed for them, so YMMV.

Wow- that stinks! I have used my FSA debit card for these items in the past and never had any issues. Do you think it is because you sent in an itemized account of your purchases?
