Vaultz is bringing its locking medicine storage line into eligibility for Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts, allowing households to buy the products and submit receipts to their plan administrator for reimbursement. The Cleveland-based brand makes locking medicine cases designed to keep prescription drugs organized and out of reach of children or other people at home who should not access them.
The line also includes locking medicine boxes and pill boxes, bringing the same secure-storage function to more than one format. That gives pharmacists a clear option to recommend when patients need a safer place for controlled substances and other prescriptions.
For retailers, the shift moves these cases deeper into pharmacy and wellness assortments rather than leaving them as a basic home-safety add-on. It also gives drugstores a timely, eligible product to merchandise when shoppers are looking to use remaining health-plan dollars.
