Quick Reference

Prenatal vitamins are considered a qualified medical expense because they are specifically intended to support the unique physiological needs of the mother and the developing fetus during pregnancy. Their purpose is to help prevent deficiencies and promote healthy development, which goes beyond general health maintenance and falls under affecting the function of the body.

When It Qualifies

  • Must be used during pregnancy or for a medically necessary purpose related to pregnancy (e.g., trying to conceive, postpartum recovery if recommended by a doctor).

When It Doesn't

  • Vitamins taken solely for general health or not specifically related to pregnancy are not eligible.
