claritin, tylenol 之类的药医生给开处方吗?
管我们FSA的公司的一封EMAIL里说。
"Please Note: Effective Jan. 1, 2011 Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs and
medicines will require a prescription from your attending provider to
qualify for reimbursement from the Medical FSA. " |
S********8 发帖数: 781 | 2 Claritin is a OTC drug, no prescription for couple years |
e******l 发帖数: 1416 | 3 I know, but my point is: no prescription no FSA-- according to the new
policy.

S********8 发帖数: 781 | 6 Point is: Claritin is not a prescription drug, no insurance cover.
you have to pay from your pocket. |
M****s 发帖数: 825 | 7 for drugs, that's true.
starting 2011, no prescription => no FSA
it will always show on your receipt.
FSA items have special code, usually in the front of line item.
and then there will be a summary at the bottom.

e******l 发帖数: 1416 | 10 所以我的问题现在可以从医生那里要OTC的药的处方吗?因为只有有了处方这些药才可
以用FSA。
你说的这个收据上显示的是即使没有处方也可以的吧?比如胰岛素,我听说不用处方就
可以用FSA。

M****s 发帖数: 825 | 16 Doctors do not prescribe for OTC drugs!
even if they write down on the prescription paper, OTC drug is OTC drug, in
the system.
there is always prescription drugs for the same medical purpose of your OTC
drugs.
usually OTC drugs are of lower potency, in the same dosage.
To FSA, what you wanted to do is pretty much a fraud. they don't want to
give you this tax benefit anymore. period.
but hey, look. I don't judge. there is no right or wrong here.
nothing wrong with trying to get OTC drugs and let FSA acceot those.
especially this always worked in the past!
but i doubt you can do it without coming up with some real good fraud.
life shrinks, when economy shrinks. everything shrinks with it.
7,8 inches are now 4-5. it sucks! makes one puke.

only 4 inches left.

M****s 发帖数: 825 | 20 but this is really good to know.
it actually makes sense, now that I think about it.
in reality, however, the chance a doctor will do what "wageworks" posted
with OUR request is very very small. it might actually work for oldies who
need such OTC drugs in arms reach, Sunday-Saturday.
we go in with specific ailment, we will more than likely get prescription,
not OTC.
we go in with no ailment, ........................fraud.

e******l 发帖数: 1416 | 22 THANKS。因为正想着最近去体检,所以想着要不要找医生开点过敏药什么的。
MS这位是个明白人,顺便问一下,有人说现在每年一次的体检不交CO-PAY了,有这么
回事吗?好象有些老中医生那里别说体检,就是打免疫针,拿体检结果都要交COPAY。
或者体检的时候多问了什么问题就多CHARGE钱--当然是保险公司那里。

c****8 发帖数: 407 | 23 - claritin, tylenol 之类的药can qualify FSA.
- You need the prescription paper from your doctor, and fax with your OTC
drug receipt to FSA.
- The prescription will be for FSA only, not for getting drug in pharmacy |
