Of course to take full advantage of this program you'll need to estimate your expenses at the beginning of open season which is typically in mid-November to set out the amount of funds you'll use during the following year.
Your FSA Dollars will reimburse you for 100% of the session rate only not any of the massage membership dues you typically pay at your local franchise location, but remember Elated Harmonies Massage doesn't make you sign a contract or a membership to achieve a discounted rate.
You can achieve the discounted rate by routine healthy behavior like joining a fitness center or running walking club or simply prepaying for your next few therapeutic massage sessions.
This in fact makes that tax-free money go a lot further than you think.
