How FSA Eligibility Works for GLP-1 Treatment

An FSA covers qualified medical expenses, which generally include prescribed medication and the medical evaluation behind it. Compounded semaglutide obtained through a legitimate telehealth service with a provider review usually meets that standard.

Watch the Plan Year Deadline

FSA funds are use-it-or-lose-it in most plans, with limited grace periods or carryover depending on your employer. If you have a balance to spend, longer treatment plans purchased before the deadline can be a practical way to use it.

Submitting for Reimbursement

1. Pay with your FSA card, or with a personal card if the FSA card is declined.

2. Download the itemized receipt showing the medication and clinical service.

3. Submit the receipt to your FSA administrator with any required claim form.
