Are over-the-counter medications eligible for reimbursement?

Asked a year ago
No, over-the-counter (OTC) medications are generally not eligible for reimbursement through WageWorks. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Certain OTC medications may be reimbursable if prescribed by a healthcare provider and used to treat a specific medical condition. In these cases, a prescription and documentation of medical necessity may be required for reimbursement. Examples of eligible OTC items may include insulin, allergy medications, or pain relievers. However, non-prescription supplements, vitamins, and general health and wellness products are not eligible for reimbursement. It is important to review your plan details or contact WageWorks customer service to confirm the eligibility of specific OTC medications for reimbursement.
