If your employer offers a flexible spending account (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA), your Spire membership may be eligible for reimbursement via those pre-tax funds.
Both FSA and HSA plans cover “qualifying healthcare expenses”, including eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses for yourself, your spouse, and eligible dependents. Many policies allow you to use those pre-tax funds to purchase fitness services under certain circumstances.
If you exercise to prevent or treat a (long list of) medical conditions (like depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, insomnia, obesity, infertility, diabetes, heart disease and more), you may be able to use your pre-tax HSA/FSA funds for Spire.To do so, you’ll need a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed provider to confirm that your expense qualifies as a medical expense. There are a few ways to determine if you are eligible and receive that letter if so:
1. Talk with your doctor. If you qualify, your doctor will need to provide you with a Letter of Medical Necessity.
Once you receive this letter, you can submit for reimbursement for subsequent membership charges via your HSA/FSA administrator. If you are unsure who your HSA/FSA administrator is, consult your employer’s HR department. Most HSA/FSA online platforms will have a dedicated section for reimbursements or claims. Navigate to this section, submit your claim, and await confirmation. Once confirmed, you can repeat this process each billing cycle moving forward. A letter of medical necessity is valid for one year from the date of signature.
2. Use an online service. There are services like TrueMed that streamline the process for users to make it as seamless as possible for a one-time fee of $15-$30. These services partner with a network of medical practitioners who can issue Letters of Medical Necessity to eligible candidates and facilitate consultations online. Please click either of the above links to find the service best for you.
We hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to hello@spire-fitness.com with any questions.
