Is an Autopsy FSA/HSA Eligible?

No, autopsy services are not eligible for reimbursement with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).

Why Is an Autopsy Not FSA/HSA Eligible?

Autopsies are performed for legal or investigative purposes, not for the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of a medical condition for the individual using the FSA or HSA. Because they do not meet the definition of medical care under IRS Code Section 213(d), they are never eligible.

What’s Not Covered?

  • Autopsy services in all contexts

  • Related investigative or forensic fees

  • Legal documentation costs

Are There Any Exceptions?

No, an autopsy is not eligible under any circumstances. A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) cannot make this expense reimbursable.
