Did You Know Massage Therapy Can Be Covered by Your FSA or HSA?
If you've been putting off booking a massage because it feels like an extra expense, here's something worth knowing: therapeutic massage can often be paid for using your FSA or HSA funds.
How FSA/HSA Coverage Works for Massage
Massage isn't automatically FSA/HSA-eligible the way a copay or prescription is. To use those funds, you typically need a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your doctor stating that massage is treatment for a specific condition, such as:
Chronic pain or muscle tension
TMJ or jaw dysfunction
Stress-related conditions
Pregnancy-related discomfort
Post-injury or post-surgical recovery
Lymphatic conditions
If your doctor is willing to write that letter, sessions at Mindful Touch may qualify — meaning you could use pre-tax dollars you've already set aside instead of paying out of pocket.
How to Check What You Qualify For
Talk to your doctor about a Letter of Medical Necessity for massage therapy.
Check with your FSA or HSA plan administrator on their specific documentation requirements.
Bring in whatever paperwork you receive, and we'll make sure your visit is documented correctly on our end.
If you're dealing with TMJ, recovering from an injury, or managing chronic tension — or if you have FSA/HSA funds that are about to expire — now's a good time to look into whether your sessions could be covered.
