How to Use Your Card to Purchase OTC Drugs at the Pharmacy with a Prescription
Because of the new 2011 Health Care Reform Law, you will first need to go to your health care provider and have him or her write you a prescription for the OTC drug or drug category (Claritin or loratadine). If you use a WageWorks Health Care Card, you can then take the prescription to the pharmacy counter and use your Card to fill it and make the purchase.

How To Use Your Card
Your Card and account are regulated by the IRS. Their rules determine who can use the account and for what items and services it can be used. To make sure that your Card is only used to purchase eligible items, the IRS requires most pharmacies and all general merchandise stores to install and maintain an inventory control system that can identify the eligibility of items at checkout.
Commuter Plan Basics
You may have either a transit or parking account, or both. Transit covers public transportation and vanpools carrying six or more adult passengers (excluding the driver). Parking benefits must be used for parking at or near work, or at or near a place where you take public transportation to work (known in some places as Park & Ride).
