Hello, I'm looking to make a purchase using my Healthcare FSA funds. The merchant is not coded as a supplier of medical devices so my card is being declined and I'll need to purchase the item and submit the receipt/expense.

If I make the purchase today and submit proof of purchasing on today's date, will my funds from this year cover the purchase or not since the funds expire at end of year?
Yes, your funds from this year should cover the purchase as long as the transaction date is within the current plan year. The key factor is the date of service or transaction date, not the date you submit the expense for reimbursement. However, it's important to submit your reimbursement request as soon as possible to ensure you get reimbursed before your FSA funds expire at the end of the year. 

Please keep in mind that the item purchased must be an eligible expense under your Healthcare FSA plan. You will need to provide a detailed receipt or documentation that shows what you purchased, the amount, and the date of the transaction.

Remember, each FSA plan may have different rules regarding rollovers and grace periods, so it's always a good idea to check with your FSA administrator to understand your specific plan details.
