Medicated Shampoo: HSA Eligibility

Medicated Shampoo: requires a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) to be eligible with a Health Savings Account (HSA)
Medicated shampoo may be eligible for reimbursement with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Medicated shampoo is not eligible with a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA) or a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA).

What is medicated shampoo?

Medicated shampoo is a type of shampoo that applies a medicine to the scalp. Shampoo is an effective way to apply medicine to the scalp when treating certain diseases or conditions of the scalp or hair. Common conditions for which medicated shampoo are typically prescribed include sunburn, dandruff, eczema, psoriasis, bacterial and fungal infections, and lice. Common medications that are included in medicated shampoo include sunblocking agents, antibacterial medication, anthralin, antifungal agents, benzoyl peroxide, coal tar, corticosteroids, retinoids, and salicylic acid (Pharmacy Times).

To be eligible with a consumer directed healthcare account, administrators will typically require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from a medical professional.

Most medicated shampoos have specific instructions on their labelling or packaging that describe how to use the shampoo. Some medicated shampoos require specific application techniques or a set duration of contact with the hair or scalp in order to provide a medical benefit. Some medicated shampoos require a specific periodicity of use, or should not be used too often, in order to maintain a healthy scalp. Medicated shampoos will have instructions detailing all risks, side effects, warnings, and specific instructions for use. The medical professional who prescribes the medicated shampoo will also be able to explain the purpose of the shampoo, and how to integrate it into a healthcare treatment plan for a medical condition or disease (LIVESTRONG).
