Medical Expense Reimbursement Act

The Medical Expense Reimbursement Act is a law that allows employees to be reimbursed for certain medical expenses through their employer. Typically, employees pay for medical costs upfront and then submit receipts to get the money back, often tax-free. The act sets rules on what expenses qualify and how the reimbursement process should work, ensuring clarity and fairness. It aims to make healthcare costs more manageable and accessible by providing a structured way for employees to recover qualifying medical expenses.
