Protein covered by FSA?
Hoping this will work. Anyone had any trouble with your FSA not covering it? My surgery is upcoming, (hopefully) just trying to get my ducks in a row in advance. It is kind of pricey to get the protein in.

Hey Peach,
you will likely need to get a note from your surgeon saying it is necessary. Then, you will need to submit a claim form for reimbursement. If you try to check out with your FSA card, it will likely deny the transaction because it's all done by the UPC codes and the register won't recognize it as being ok.
Your vitamins, transportation and travel expenses, etc are also covered expenses.

And the change for 2011 is that we have to get prescriptions for OTC meds now so we will probably have to get our surgeons to actually write scripts for our vitamins and protein and anything else we want to be reimbursed for that is medically necessary but over the counter.

Check with your FSA. If you have a limited FSA as part of a High Cost Deductible plan with an HSA then, they may be eligable with a script only after meeting your deductible. The same holds true for vitamin supplements.
