*Cosmetic procedures
Cosmetic surgery or procedures are not reimbursable unless the surgery or procedure is necessary to ameliorate a deformity arising from, or directly related to, a congenital abnormality.

**Vitamins and Supplements
Vitamins and supplements are RARELY reimbursable. The participant must be diagnosed with a specific medical condition and the prescribed vitamin must be medically necessary to treat the condition. For example, calcium supplements would not be eligible unless you were diagnosed with osteoporosis and you submitted a claim with the completed Letter of Medical Necessity.

***Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can be used to improve your "general health" or it can "treat" a specific medical condition. Massage therapy would be reimbursable with a Letter of Medical Necessity if your licensed healthcare professional diagnoses you with a specific medical condition such as fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis.
