There are certain eligible over-the-counter expenses your health care FSA may help pay. The list below is not all-inclusive. It can change based on Internal Revenue Service rules.
Effective January 1, 2011 over-the-counter medicines will not be FSA-eligible without a doctor's prescription as a result of Health Care Reform. If you have questions about an over-the-counter FSA claim, ask your employer for our toll-free customer service number. We are here Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in your local time zone.
