Flexible Spending Account

Questions and answers

In Notice 2018-03 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released the medical mileage rate for the 2018 benefit period. The 2018 rate is 18 cents per mile, a slight increase from 2017.

Mileage to and from a medical service is an eligible expense under a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Simply use the Mileage Worksheet available at www.FSAFEDS.com to log miles to and from your doctor, dentist, pharmacy or other medical care provider. When you’re ready to submit a claim, sign the bottom of the Mileage Worksheet to certify the expense, and submit the worksheet along with your completed Health Care FSA claim form.
