Re: Last min Flex Spending Account ideas! HELP!

i need to start submitting dr. bills - what do they need as evidence? my dr. usually just gives me one of those message type receipts with my name, her name and cost and date - is that enough or do i have to get an official computer printout

I just used mine to get fancy Kate Spade eyeglasses!

I read online that you can use them for a treadmill / workout equipment if your Dr tells you thtat you need to exercise for "medical purposes"...
