Quick Reference
Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, including those for cold and flu symptoms like Tylenol Cold, are considered qualified medical expenses. The CARES Act of 2020 removed the requirement for a prescription for OTC medicines to be eligible for reimbursement from HSAs, FSAs, and HRAs. These expenses are for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body.
