When referring to non-reimbursed plans for HSA accounts, does the HSA not pay for over-the-counter medications as of next year?
As of January 1, 2011, over-the-counter medicines or drugs (other than insulin) will no longer be eligible under a health FSA, HSA, or HRA unless they were prescribed by a medical practitioner. This would include expenses such as aspirin, over-the-counter cold or allergy medicine, or cough suppressants. It is important to stress that they are still eligible; however, participants need a prescription to accompany the purchase of these items.
