This just floated across my radar at work:
That's right folks - those fancy First Aid kits qualify under Flex Spending rules (and will continue to do so in 2011), but aspirin is off the chart in 2011.
Effective January 1, 2011 over-the-counter (OTC) medications and drugs without a prescription will not be reimbursable through the healthcare FSA. Other OTC items such as bandages and contact lens solution are still eligible. OTC produces such as cold medicines, aspirins, etc., will not be reimbursable under the FSA plan on or after January 1, 2011
