    The thing is your doctor can absolutely prescribe you Tylenol (or at least acetaminophen), and your insurance will cover it. I’ve been prescribed ibuprofen before. Just because it’s over the counter doesn’t mean your doctor can’t prescribe it, and the OTC things insurance will cover already is pretty broad: diabetes supplies and COVID tests, for example.

      Insurance doesn’t cover OTC a majority of the time. But of it’s prescribed, you get a break on the tax at least.
