Question:
An employer provides an in-house, on-site physician a couple of days a week to his employees for typical family-practice services. Employees who opt to visit this physician do not use HSA funds to pay for the services since it is free. Is this EAP permitted coverage?
Answer:
No, this is outside the permitted coverage because this provides significant benefits in the nature of medical care or treatment. (Treasury Email Answer, 9-24-04)
