What is an HSA/FSA Letter of Medical Necessity, and how is this compliant?Updated a month ago

The items in your Flex Letter of Medical Necessity (“LMN”) are now qualified medical expenses in the same way as a visit to the doctor’s office or a pharmaceutical product is.


There are thousands of studies showing that food and exercise are often the best medicine to prevent and reverse disease. Exercise qualifies as a qualified medical expense with an LMN. Food, supplements, and other wellness purchases qualify as medical expenses if they treat or prevent an illness, and a doctor substantiates the need. Your Flex LMN satisfies all IRS requirements to make your wellness spend fully reimbursable.
