Eligible expenses
Eligible expenses are costs that qualify for reimbursement or tax benefits under a specific program, plan, or policy. These expenses meet the criteria set by the rules governing the program and are necessary and directly related to the purpose of the benefit. For example, in a health insurance plan, eligible expenses might include doctor visits or prescription medications. It's important to understand which expenses are considered eligible to ensure proper claims submission and maximize benefits while avoiding non-qualifying costs.
