Quick Reference

Over-the-counter medicines and drugs, including antiseptics like Betadine, are considered qualified medical expenses. The CARES Act of 2020 removed the requirement for a prescription for these items, making them directly eligible for reimbursement from health spending accounts.

When It Qualifies

  • Must be used for medical care as defined by the IRS (diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body).

When It Doesn't

  • Not eligible if used for general health, cosmetic purposes, or items that are merely beneficial to general health.
