HSA/FSA Eligibility Guide
HSA/FSA Eligibility for Wellness & Recovery Equipment
Using HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds may allow you to apply pre-tax dollars toward qualifying wellness and recovery products.
What does HSA/FSA eligibility mean?
HSA and FSA accounts are designed to cover qualified medical expenses.
In certain cases, products such as massage chairs, recovery devices, or cold plunges may qualify when used to treat a diagnosed medical condition and supported by appropriate documentation.
When might a product qualify?
Eligibility is determined on an individual basis. Products may qualify when prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider for conditions such as:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Muscle recovery or rehabilitation
- Circulation-related conditions
- Other medically recognized needs
What is typically required?
Most HSA/FSA providers require:
- A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed healthcare provider
- Documentation supporting your condition
- Submission of your purchase for review
All approvals are determined solely by your HSA/FSA administrator.
How the process typically works
The process varies by provider, but generally includes:
- Confirm eligibility requirements with your HSA/FSA administrator
- Obtain a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) if required
- Complete your purchase
- Submit documentation for reimbursement
Some providers require approval before purchase, while others allow reimbursement after purchase.
Why customers consider using HSA/FSA
When approved, using HSA/FSA funds may allow you to:
- Apply pre-tax dollars toward your purchase
- Align your purchase with a medically guided recovery plan
- Make long-term wellness investments more accessible
