Eligibility & Coverage FAQs
Written by Caeli's benefits team. If we haven't answered your question, the extension's in-app chat is staffed by humans.
Can I buy the Alka-Seltzer Plus Severe Cold & Flu Powerfast Fizz, Citrus, 72-count with my HSA or FSA?
Yes. This product qualifies as a medical expense — pay with your HSA or FSA card and you're done.
Do I need a doctor's note or LMN to buy the Alka-Seltzer Plus Severe Cold & Flu Powerfast Fizz, Citrus, 72-count?
No — this product qualifies as a medical expense on its own. Pay with your HSA or FSA card; no letter required.
Does my wellness stipend (LSA) cover this?
Maybe — LSA coverage is set by your employer's plan, so it varies by person. Caeli reads your employer's LSA categories and tells you whether you can pay this way — often with no paperwork. If you have both an LSA and an HSA, Caeli steers you to spend the LSA first (it can expire) and protect the HSA (it compounds).
