Quick Reference
The IRS considers medicines and drugs to be qualified medical expenses if they are used to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental illness or condition. Following the CARES Act of 2020, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and drugs, such as Uristat, no longer require a prescription to be eligible for reimbursement from health spending accounts.
When It Qualifies
- •The expense must be for medical care, meaning it is primarily to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental illness or condition.
- •The product must be an over-the-counter medicine or drug.
When It Doesn't
- •Expenses for general health or cosmetic purposes are not eligible.
- •Products used solely for general well-being or to improve appearance are not covered.
