Quick Reference

Over-the-counter (OTC) medical products, including items like Dr. Scholl's inserts, are considered eligible medical expenses if they are used to alleviate or prevent a physical condition, treat an injury, or provide support for a medical ailment. The CARES Act of 2020 clarified that OTC medical products no longer require a prescription to be eligible.
