This bill would allow people to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and Archer Medical Savings Accounts to purchase over-the-counter oral health products with tax-free dollars. Specifically, it expands the definition of qualified medical expenses to include toothbrushes (manual or electric), water flossers, and FDA-approved over-the-counter oral care drugs like anticaries and antiplaque products. The legislation affects anyone with these tax-advantaged health savings accounts who currently cannot use these funds for routine dental care products. There is no specific federal funding associated with the bill, as it primarily changes the tax code to allow existing account funds to be used for new categories of expenses. The changes would take effect after the bill is signed into law and apply to expenses incurred from that date forward.
