Birthing Classes

Birthing classes are partially eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Only the portion of the class that relates to the process of childbirth is eligible and a Letter of Medical Necessity may be required to indicate what part of the expense is medical and therefore eligible. Examples include: breathing techniques, stages of labor, labor & delivery procedures, birthing positions, vaginal & Cesarean delivery, so it's vital to check with a benefits administrator to see how these classes are reimbursed. Birthing classes are not eligible for reimbursement with a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA) or a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA).
