The general guiding principle for eligibility is that treatment must be conducted for medical reasons, and not for cosmetic purposes. Procedures covered under traditional employee benefits would be covered under Flexsave™ at 100%.
Other less conventional expenses that would not by typically be covered under a traditional benefits plan would be covered under Flexsave™ .
