How to Use Your Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) for HSA/FSA Reimbursement
At Truemed, our mission is to make it simple for you to use your HSA/FSA funds to pay for your favorite wellness products. You can take advantage of the partnership with Truemed to get your fitness membership reimbursed through your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Follow these simple steps:
You should have received a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) via email within 1-2 days of submitting your health intake survey. Your LMN is an important document that substantiates that your fitness membership is helping you to prevent or reverse a disease, thus enabling you to use your tax-free HSA/FSA dollars. Once issued, your LMN is valid for 12 months from the day you receive it.
If you are unsure who your HSA/FSA provider is, consult your employer's HR department.
Use your credentials to access your HSA/FSA provider's online platform. If you don't have an account, you'll likely need to create one. At the bottom of this document, you will find links and specific instructions for the most popular HSA/FSA vendors.
Most HSA/FSA online platforms will have a dedicated section for reimbursements or claims. Navigate to this section.
You will be required to upload two essential documents:
Once submitted, it usually takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the provider to process your claim. The reimbursement amount will be deposited directly into your designated account.
You can use the same LMN to claim reimbursement for future receipts as long as the LMN remains valid (i.e., within 12 months of issuance).
