Q- I am traveling to Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone and celebrate St. Patrick's Day. I plan to purchase headache relief medicine to take with me. May I submit the cost of the medicine to my health care flexible spending account for reimbursement?
A- You will need a prescription from your doctor for the headache medicine in order for the expense to be reimbursable from your health FSA. The cost of over-the-counter medication may no longer be reimbursed from a health FSA without a prescription.
