Can I use my Health Care FSA to reimburse outstanding medical expenses from the prior year? (Special Note on Orthodontia)

No, expenses must be incurred during the current plan year. The only exception to this rule is orthodontics. You can use your FSA to cover payments made for braces, even if the braces were put on before the start of the current plan year.
