titleExpanded Qualified Medical Expense Definitions for HSA Reimbursement
  • Repeals a rule enacted under the Affordable Care Act that prohibited over-the-counter medicines and drugs, other than insulin, from being qualified medical expenses without a prescription. For expenses incurred after December 31, 2019, participants may utilize HSA funds to cover over-the-counter medicines and drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, cold medicines), without a prescription.
  • HSA funds may be used to purchase certain menstrual care products (e.g., pads and tampons) on a tax-favored basis. These products will be treated as qualified medical expenses under the new legislation. This change applies to expenses incurred after December 31, 2019.
