Is Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Floss 40m HSA or FSA Eligible?

Standard dental floss is generally considered a cosmetic/hygiene item and is not typically eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement. It may qualify with a Letter of Medical Necessity for diagnosed periodontitis or other dental conditions requiring prescribed interdental cleaning.

The full list of qualified medical expenses is defined in IRS Publication 502, updated annually. The CARES Act of 2020 expanded eligibility to include all OTC medicines and menstrual care products.

1. Purchase Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Floss 40m directly with your HSA or FSA debit card — no pre-approval needed.
2. Alternatively, pay out of pocket and submit the receipt for reimbursement through your plan's portal or app.
3. Keep your receipt. If your card is declined (auto-substantiation failure), you can manually submit the receipt.
4. Save receipts for 7 years in case of an IRS audit.
