If I fill a prescription and pay a co-pay or cost share while also purchasing over-the-counter (OTC) drugs at the same time, will both automatically rollover to my health care spending account?
No. The prescription drug co-pay will be automatically sent to UnitedHealthcare for processing in your health care spending account, but any eligible OTC drug FSA expenses must be manually submitted to UnitedHealthcare for processing. Effective January 1, 2011, OTC medicines won’t be eligible expenses for your Healthcare FSA unless your doctor provides a prescription.
