Paying with pre-tax money

Can you buy a sauna with HSA or FSA money?

Short answer · can I buy a sauna with HSA or FSA

Sometimes. A sauna isn’t automatically eligible, but 28 sellers we track offer HSA/FSA checkout, usually through Truemed, which arranges a clinician’s letter of medical necessity when a sauna is part of treating a diagnosed condition. With the letter, the purchase may qualify; your plan administrator decides.

Eligibility, and the price.

Can I use my HSA or FSA to buy a sauna?

Sometimes. A sauna isn’t automatically an eligible expense. Several sellers work with Truemed, which connects buyers with a clinician who can issue a letter of medical necessity when a sauna is part of treating a diagnosed condition. With that letter the purchase may qualify. Your plan administrator makes the final call; keep the letter and receipt.

Does using HSA money change the price?

It doesn’t change the seller’s price. Paying with pre-tax dollars can lower your after-tax cost if the purchase qualifies, and services like Truemed may add their own fee. Check before you buy.
