Beginning January 1, 2011 any OTC drug purchase can be reimbursed only if
you’ve obtained a prescription for it. Yes, that is a bit oxymoronic; you
will indeed need a doctor’s prescription for an OTC medication if you want
to pay for it with tax-free dollars you stuffed in your FSA/HRA. And if you
’ve been enjoying the convenience of using an FSA debit card to streamline
your OTC drug purchases, well, you might need to kiss that goodbye as well.
In many instances consumers will be required to shell out after-tax dollars
from their wallet to cover a drug purchase and then submit the receipt, with
companion prescription, for reimbursement. The only workaround to that
inconvenience is to stick with a drugstore that derives at least 90 percent
of its gross receipts from medicine purchases. According to the new law they
are the only drug dispensers who will be able to accept FSA debit-cards for
drug purchases. Not exactly great news if you currently use Costco/ Walmart
/Target as your pharmacy.

5. How does this change affect over-the-counter medical devices and supplies?
A. The new rule does not apply to items for medical care that are not
medicines or drugs. Thus, equipment such as crutches, supplies such as
bandages, and diagnostic devices such as blood sugar test kits will still
qualify for reimbursement by a health FSA or HRA if purchased after Dec. 31,
2010, and a distribution from an HSA or Archer MSA for the cost of such
items will still be tax-free, regardless of whether the items are purchased
using a prescription.

1. How are the rules changing for reimbursing the cost of over-the-counter
medicines and drugs from health flexible spending arrangements (health FSAs)
and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs)?
A. Section 9003 of the Affordable Care Act established a new uniform
standard for medical expenses. Effective Jan. 1, 2011, distributions from
health FSAs and HRAs will be allowed to reimburse the cost of over-the-
counter medicines or drugs only if they are purchased with a prescription.
This new rule does not apply to reimbursements for the cost of insulin,
which will continue to be permitted, even if purchased without a
prescription.
