Reimbursed through Flex Spending Account



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just wanted to let your all know that it's possible to get reimbursed a portion of your surgery cost through you Flex Spending Account(FSA). I submitted all of my paperwork to FSAFEDS( My FSA Administrator). I was reimbursed $2,230 of my surgery cost within 2 days of submitting the forms I only elected to set aside $2,300 this year. I used $70 of it earlier this year, so they gave me what was left in my Flex Spending Account.

I plan on setting aside at least $1,00 of it for any future medical/dental expenses. I took all of my forms with me to Mexico, so Dr. Ponce could sign them. He signed a letter of Medial Necessity for me and another form. I got the forms from my FSA provider. I hope this helps someone.

Wow. It's cool that your employer lets you put that much into a flex spending account. I'm already close to spending the max of mine ($1,400) this year. I talked to my NUT about my FSA and Vitamins. I think as long as you have one of those letters of medical necessity, you can get the cost of those reimbursed, too. Thanks for the share! Hope you're doing well one month out!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
