Quick Reference

The IRS considers medicines and drugs that treat a medical condition to be qualified medical expenses. Following the CARES Act of 2020, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and drugs, including jock itch cream, no longer require a prescription to be eligible for reimbursement from HSA, FSA, and HRA accounts.

When It Qualifies

  • The cream must be used to alleviate or prevent a medical condition (jock itch).

When It Doesn't

  • Products used for general health or cosmetic purposes are not eligible.
