Quick Reference
The IRS considers medicines and drugs to be qualified medical expenses. Following the CARES Act of 2020, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and drugs, such as Neosporin, no longer require a prescription to be eligible for reimbursement from health spending accounts. This means you can use your HSA, FSA, or HRA funds for these products.
