Why

What the IRS rules say

Antibiotic ointments that treat and prevent infection in minor wounds are OTC drugs, eligible under the CARES Act without a prescription.

Based on CARES Act (2020), Section 3702.

How to pay with FSA/HSA

You have two options. Swipe your FSA or HSA card at checkout and it comes straight out of your benefits, or pay your own way, keep the receipt, and file for reimbursement. Either works.
