Bill Introduced to Repeal OTC Exclusion and $2,500 FSA Cap

14. February 2011 11:07

Last week, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and Representative Erik Paulsen (R-MN) reintroduced the "Patients' Freedom to Choose Act." This legislation would repeal the health reform provision that requires individuals to have a prescription for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines in order to receive reimbursement through a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). It would also repeal the $2,500 FSA cap set to become effective on January 1, 2013.

We urge you to act immediately. Please contact your legislators in Washington and ask them to actively endorse this repeal. We encourage you to send a letter to your representatives and urge them to sign on immediately.
