Question

Can I use my FSA Card for prolotherapy?

Answer 1

You should call you FSA administrator first, Alternative providers - "Expenses paid to alternative providers for homeopathic or holistic treatments or procedures are generally not covered unless to treat a specific medical condition. Naturopathic procedures or treatments using natural agents such as air, water or sunshine are generally not reimbursable. Member's explanation of necessity required". You should also read this first http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Prolotherapy a double blind study found no improvement over the placebo group, it may be  waste of your money.

Answer 2

Yes, that should be acceptable.  However, be prepared to explain exactly what type of treatment this is, and have all your expenses documented.

Some FSA administrators will only reimburse for this, once you've supported your claim.
