Deducting Medical Expenses: What Your Pharmacy Receipts Need to Show

Deducting Medical Expenses: What Your Pharmacy Receipts Need to Show matters when you use an FSA or HSA. The receipt is the documentation that supports an eligible health-expense claim.

What FSA/HSA Claims Usually Need

For an FSA or HSA claim, the receipt usually needs to show:

• the provider or pharmacy name
• the date of purchase
• the itemized products or services
• the amount paid
• enough detail to show the expense is eligible

An itemized receipt is generally required — a card-only summary often is not enough.

Keeping Records for Reimbursement

FSA and HSA administrators may request documentation, so keep itemized receipts for eligible purchases. A clear, itemized record makes claims faster to substantiate and approve.
