Can an employer refuse to pay for a medical reimbursement expense?

According to what I have just read on the web, an employer can refuse to pay for a medical reimbursement expense on the grounds that it does not meet the parameters of the reimbursement fund as defined in the original plan. It is recommended that a third party administer the reimbursements because of potential hard feelings and because it can be difficult to determine whether an expense meets the correct criteria. Speaking as a small business employer, having a third party administer the plan and determine the reimbursements probably adds another layer of expense, and if one is barely able to meet funding requirements to provide the reimbursements to begin with, might be undesirable.

Very little of the health record privacy law (HIPAA) applies to employers, but this is in there: employers cannot compel you to reveal medical RECORDS except those needed to claim a medical-based benefit like FMLA, workers comp, or ADA accommodation. The employer can compel you on pain of discharge to demand necessary records from your doctor, who cannpot refuse YOU. The employer cannot demand records from your doctor, but can hire a doctor to demand the records and review them.
