Quick Reference
Expenses for items that are solely for general health or wellness, or for personal enjoyment, are not considered qualified medical expenses. However, if a deep tissue massager is recommended by a medical professional to alleviate or treat a specific diagnosed medical condition, its cost can be eligible. This requires proper substantiation, such as an LMN, to demonstrate medical necessity.
