Quick Reference

The CARES Act of 2020 expanded the definition of qualified medical expenses to include over-the-counter medicines, such as Robitussin, without the need for a prescription. This means that expenses for these items can be paid or reimbursed by your HSA, FSA, or HRA.

  • The product must be used to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness.

When It Doesn't
