FSA Mouthwash
Using a flexible spending account (FSA) is a good way to pay for eligible expenses with income tax-free money. By now, you are probably wondering if there are eligible FSA mouthwash products you can get. Good news -- the answer is yes. Check out CVS for your choices.
Is Mouthwash FSA Eligible?
Mouthwash can be eligible with your FSA. This dental care liquid is meant to be held or shaken around your mouth, so it gets into contact with your gums, teeth, and cheeks. Mouthwash can serve a lot of purposes, such as getting rid of bad breath, and it can also be anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, or analgesic. Mouthwash is meant to be used after brushing or flossing your teeth as a part of your healthcare routine. However, it can also be swished around your mouth after meals if you want to have fresher breath.
Are All Mouthwashes Covered Under FSA?
Not all mouthwash is covered by FSA. Some of the mouthwash products at CVS covered by FSA include Colgate Peroxyl Mouth Sore Rinse, CVS Health Alcohol-Free Peroxide Rinse, Oral-B Mouth Sore Special Care Oral Rinse, and Gly-Oxide Liquid Antiseptic Oral Cleanser, among many others. When you get a mouthwash that is covered by FSA, you can obtain reimbursement for your medical expenses, because it is classified as a tax-exempt savings account, and no federal income or employment taxes will be deducted from your contributions. Although there are only a limited number of mouthwash products that are covered by FSA, you can still use your FSA for a myriad of dental expenses such as teeth cleaning, fillings and sealants, dentures, crowns, bonding, tooth extraction, and preventative and diagnostic expenses, and treatment for gingivitis, gum recession, oral surgery, and temporomandibular joint syndrome and disorder.
What Makes Mouthwash FSA Eligible?
A lot of over-the-counter items are not eligible for FSA, which is why many people think that all mouthwash products are not reimbursable. However, mouthwash does not simply serve a cosmetic purpose. For instance, there are medical-grade mouthwashes that can be eligible with your FSA. These mouthwash products usually target specific dental issues. For instance, there are products that are alcohol-free and formulated to be gentle for recovering patients, or fluoride rinses. Mouth sore rinse products are also considered FSA eligible. People who use these types of mouthwash cannot regularly use over-the-counter products because it can harm their dental or oral health. If you are still unsure which products can be covered by your FSA, contact your benefits department. Visit CVS to shop our wide selection of FSA-eligible mouthwash.
