Many practices offer the purchase of multiple services in advance for discounted prices. For example, purchasing 10 chiropractic sessions up front. Because the IRS doesn’t permit employers to reimburse payments for services you have not yet received, you must submit these expenses in a particular way.
There are two methods to submit these expenses:
- You can provide a document from your service provider showing when you received each service and submit multiple requests for each service date. In this situation, we will divide the total cost by the number of sessions.
This method will allow your employer to pay out partial reimbursements before you’ve received every service.
- You can also wait until you’ve attended every session and submit one request for the whole payment. We will require proof from your service provider that you’ve received all the services you paid for.
For both methods, you must attach your itemized receipt showing how many sessions you paid for and a document from your service provider showing when you received each service.
When your service provider bills you regularly with a limited number of sessions per month, you can submit your documentation as soon as you pay. This situation is different because refunds aren’t generally available if you don’t reach the session limit. You’ll need to provide a payment receipt or itemized statement.
