Quick Reference

The IRS considers medicines and drugs to be qualified medical expenses if they are used for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body. Following the CARES Act of 2020, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, including pain relief products like Capzasin, no longer require a prescription to be eligible for reimbursement from HSA, FSA, and HRA accounts.

When It Qualifies

  • The expense must be for medical care as defined by the IRS, meaning it is primarily for the alleviation or prevention of a physical or mental defect or illness.

When It Doesn't

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