How Health Care Insurance Reform Affects FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts)

Note: None of this should be taken as legal or tax advice.

The health care reform bill creates the following restrictions on the use of flexible spending accounts (FSAs):
  1. Beginning in 2011, non-prescribed over-the-counter drugs will no longer be qualified medical expenses
  2. Beginning in 2013, employee contributions to FSAs through salary reduction will be limited to $2,500 per year and adjusted in subsequent years based on inflation
