Health savings accounts (HSA) and flexible spending accounts (FSA) are programs that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for eligible healthcare expenses. They're typically set up through your employer or your insurance company.
HSA: Paired with high-deductible health plans. Funds never expire.
FSA: Independent of your health plan. They typically expire on December 31—or March 15 if your plan has a grace period. Use them before you lose them.

Autonomous has partnered with Truemed to help eligible customers easily get their Letter of Medical Necessity ("LMN") online. Their network of licensed providers reviews your info and handles the rest—fully IRS-compliant, just like a doctor's visit.

HSA/FSA accounts were created so individuals could use pre-tax money to pay for expenses used to treat, mitigate, or prevent a diagnosed medical condition. Because HSA/FSAs use pre-tax money, you're getting more purchasing power for your dollars. Rather than pay taxes on income and then spend it on health items, qualified customers can use pre-tax funds to invest in their health.

An individual can contribute up to $4,150 pretax to their HSA per year, or $8,300 for a family (plus an additional $1,000 if you are at least 55 years old). Individuals can contribute up to $3,200 pretax to their FSA per year (with an additional $500 in employer contributions allowed).

Yes, if qualified. Simply select Truemed as your payment option at checkout and use your FSA or HSA card as you would any other credit card. If you do not have sufficient HSA/FSA funds, you can split your payment between your credit card and HSA/FSA card.

Yes. If you'd like to use your regular credit card, simply select that in Truemed checkout. After your purchase, Truemed will email you instructions on how to submit the receipt to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement.

A Letter of Medical Necessity ("LMN") is documentation from a licensed healthcare provider confirming that a product is medically necessary to treat, manage, or prevent a condition. With an LMN, your ergonomic purchase is treated the same as a visit to the doctor or a prescription.

Standing desks and ergonomic chairs are commonly recommended by healthcare professionals to address back pain, poor posture, and sedentary-related health issues. Your Truemed LMN satisfies all IRS requirements, so your wellness investment is fully reimbursable through your HSA/FSA.

There is no cost to you, as long as you are shopping with a Truemed partner merchant.

You can use your HSA/FSA dollars all year long. However, most FSA dollars expire at the end of the year and unused money may not rollover into the next year. Make sure to spend the rest of your FSA dollars before December 31st — use it, so you don't lose it!

Generally it takes 2-5 hours. In some cases, Truemed's provider team will require additional time to issue a letter of medical necessity based on the needs associated with an individual qualification survey. If you aren't seeing your letter in your inbox, check spam, then reach out to us at [email protected] for help.

Unfortunately, Truemed's services are for individuals who have HSA or FSA accounts (or plan to fund one during open enrollment). We encourage you to ask your employer about information on your HSA or FSA!

Unfortunately, Truemed is currently only available in the United States.
