Is Ibuprofen FSA/HSA eligible?

Eligible

Yes. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is an over-the-counter medicine and is FSA and HSA eligible without a prescription.

Why

What the IRS rules say

Ibuprofen is an OTC drug, and the CARES Act made OTC drugs eligible again in 2020 with no prescription required. Buy it with your benefits card or keep the receipt and get reimbursed.

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.
