A weight loss program prescribed by your physician to treat a medical condition (such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension or heart disease) is considered a medical expense.

All weight loss program expenses submitted through flex spending need a doctor’s referral specifying the medical condition requiring weight loss. Once you are officially signed up for Vtrim, you can use the money from your 2010 Flexible Spending Account if your participation is approved as a medical expense. The referral must be reviewed by your HR representative for final approval. You can use the money in your Flexible Spending Account from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.  Click here to read more.

Please e-mail or call us at 802-656-1425 if you’d like more information or have questions.  We hope to “see” you online in 2010!
