## Summary

**Lets people use tax-advantaged health accounts to buy over-the-counter oral-care items.** The bill would add toothbrushes, water flossers, and FDA-recognized over-the-counter anticaries and antiplaque products to the list of qualified medical expenses for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Archer Medical Savings Accounts (Archer MSAs), health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). - Families and individuals: You could pay for manual or electric toothbrushes, water flossers, and qualifying OTC anticaries or antiplaque products with pre-tax HSA, FSA, or HRA dollars. This shifts those purchases from after-tax spending to tax-advantaged accounts. - HSA and Archer MSA holders: The bill explicitly treats these oral-care items as qualified medical expenses under the HSA and Archer MSA rules, clarifying eligibility for reimbursement. - Employers and plan administrators: FSAs and HRAs would treat these expenses as incurred for medical care when reimbursing employees, making them eligible under plan rules. - Product limit: Only OTC products defined as anticaries or antiplaque or antigingivitis and recognized as safe and effective under 21 U.S.C. 355f qualify. The changes would apply to expenses incurred after the date of enactment.
