You may be running low on time to spend the rest of your flexible spending account (FSA) before the end of the year.
Depending on your insurance and your health care needs, here are some possible ways to drain your FSA:
- Get some glasses.
- Stock up on medications.
- Birth control can be an approved expense.
- Check your teeth.
- See an acupuncturist - some alternative medical treatments may be covered.
And, give yourself the best holiday gift. Stop smoking - clinical smoking-cessation treatment is an OK expense.
