Using FSA or HSA Funds at Eden

Some women choose to use FSA or HSA funds for fitness-related services at Eden when exercise is part of a provider-recommended plan.

What may be eligible

Under IRS guidelines, certain fitness expenses may qualify for FSA or HSA reimbursement when supported by a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed healthcare provider.

At Eden, this can include:

  • Personal training

  • Small-group training (when supervised exercise is specified)

  • A gym membership (in cases where regular access to a private gym is deemed medically necessary)

Eligibility depends on your individual health situation and your specific plan. Eden does not determine eligibility or provide medical advice.


What is a Letter of Medical Necessity?

A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is a document from a licensed healthcare provider stating that exercise is recommended to help treat, manage, or prevent a diagnosed medical condition.

Common reasons providers may recommend structured exercise include:

  • Back or joint pain

  • Metabolic or cardiovascular risk factors

  • PCOS or hormonal changes

  • Stress, anxiety, or sleep-related concerns

  • Strength, mobility, or postural needs

Your provider determines whether an LMN is appropriate.


What a Letter of Medical Necessity typically includes

If you choose to obtain a letter from your personal healthcare provider, your Letter of Medical Necessity typically includes:

  • A diagnosed medical condition

  • A statement that structured exercise is medically recommended

  • The recommended duration of care

  • The provider’s signature and credentials

Your provider or plan administrator can confirm what’s required for your specific plan.


How the process works

Eden stays outside the medical and reimbursement process. Here’s the general flow most clients follow:

  1. Obtain a Letter of Medical Necessity
    You may use your own healthcare provider or a third-party service such as TruMed that offers medical reviews and compliant documentation.

  2. Purchase services at Eden as usual
    Sessions and memberships are paid for normally. Eden does not accept insurance or process benefits directly.

  3. Submit for reimbursement
    You submit your receipt and LMN to your FSA or HSA administrator according to your plan’s instructions.

Reimbursement timelines and approvals vary by provider and plan.


Important notes

Eden does not guarantee eligibility or reimbursement

  • Eden does not provide medical guidance or documentation

  • Approval decisions are made solely by your healthcare provider and your FSA/HSA administrator

  • We recommend confirming details with your plan administrator before submitting a claim

This approach keeps the process clean, compliant, and respectful of your time.


A quick year-end reminder

Many FSA plans are “use it or lose it.”

If you have remaining funds and exercise is part of your provider’s care plan, this may be a practical way to use your benefits before they expire.
