Tax Deductibility
Weight-Loss Programs May Be Tax Deductible.
On April 2, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service announced a new policy (IRS Ruling 202-19). Some overweight Americans may now be eligible to deduct the cost of weight-loss programs. You may be able to deduct qualifying expenses as part of medical care.
You may also be eligible for three employee benefits: Medical Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Health Reimbursement expenses based on a doctor's recommendation.
Please consult your tax advisor and/or your employer regarding your individual circumstance.
Talk to Your Doctor
Talk to your doctor about your BMI and how it relates to your health. If he or she advises you to lose weight to improve your health status, be sure to ask for a letter or referral. This letter can be essential If you plan to deduct weight-loss treatment costs on your tax return, or if you plan to submit them to your Medical Savings Account or Flexible Savings Account for reimbursement.
Insurance Coverage
Structure House accepts private pay only; however, you should check with your insurance carrier to see if reimbursement is available. Tips regarding insurance reimbursement are available from the American Obesity Association.
Structure House can provide an insurance letter that lists the price of your treatment, dates of your stay, and services received. It is not an itemized list but it can be used in conjunction with therapy receipts to help show insurance companies the comprehensive treatment you received from a residential weight management facility.
