Quick Reference
Medical expenses must be primarily for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness. While over-the-counter medicines and drugs are generally eligible, products considered toiletries, cosmetics, or for general health are not, unless prescribed by a doctor. Eucerin offers a range of products, some of which are medicated for specific conditions, and others are general moisturizers.
When It Qualifies
- •If the Eucerin product is specifically formulated and used to treat a diagnosed medical condition (e.g., eczema, dermatitis), it may be considered an eligible over-the-counter medicine.
- •If the Eucerin product is a general skincare item (e.g., daily moisturizer) used for general health, moisturizing, or cosmetic purposes, it is generally not eligible.
When It Doesn't
- •Products used purely for cosmetic purposes or general health are not eligible.
- •General lotions or moisturizers, unless prescribed by a doctor for a specific medical condition, are not eligible.
