Are warranties and protection plans eligible under the Health FSA?

Unfortunately, warranties and protection plans are not eligible under the Health FSA, even if the device or service they cover is eligible. A common example of this is Eyewear Protection Plans offered by many optic shops. Though prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses are all eligible under the Health FSA, the eyewear protection plan is not, since it does not provide a necessary medical service.
