Quick Reference

Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, including those for cold and sinus relief like Advil Cold and Sinus, 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 health spending accounts.

When It Qualifies

  • The expense must be for medical care, meaning it is used to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness.
  • The product must be purchased for the account holder, their spouse, or a qualified dependent.

When It Doesn't

  • Expenses for general health or cosmetic purposes are not eligible.
