Qualified Medical Expenses and Account-Based Plans

On this week's edition of HealthCare Consumerism Radio, host Doug Field will talk with a new member of the team at ECFC, the leading non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining and expanding employee benefit programs on a tax-advantaged basis.

Donna Crisalli has recently joined ECFC as technical advisor. Donna brings 20 years of experience working in senior positions at the Internal Revenue Service. As technical advisor, she provides counsel on matters pertaining to the eligibility of expenses for medical claims subject to the Internal Revenue Code section 213(d), which defines qualified medical expenses that can be reimbursed to an individual, on a tax-preferred basis, through account-based health plans, such as FSAs, HRAs and HSAs.

Following the discussion with Donna, Doug will discuss this week's announcement regarding the co-location of Private Exchange FORUM, previously planned for September in Baltimore, with this year's IHC FORUM West at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas.
