Understand HSA/FSA payments as a growth channel in the Flex dashboard.
Customers are redirected to Flex to checkout securely using their HSA/FSA card.
Flex promotes your brand to engaged buyers looking to spend the $150B in HSA/FSA accounts.
What are HSAs and FSAs?
Health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are tax advantaged accounts that can be used for health related purchases.
What can HSA or FSA dollars be spent on?
Traditionally, health expenses are limited to spending at healthcare facilities (think doctor’s office, dentist office etc) or on a specific list of items, usually available at a pharmacy like CVS or Walgreens.
Flex works with wellness partners to enable you to spend your HSA/FSA money with them as well. Our partners include sleep, fitness, and meditation apps, nutrition programs, in person gyms, wearables and even medical tourism! Reach out to support@withflex.com if you’re interested in learning more!
What is a Letter of Medical Necessity?
A Letter of Medical Necessity is a note from a licensed healthcare provider stating that a product is needed to treat or manage a medical condition. Some products require this documentation to qualify for HSA or FSA payment, as required by the IRS.
Flex makes this process simple by offering asynchronous telehealth visits directly at checkout. If a Letter is needed, customers can complete a quick consultation and receive approval to pay with HSA/FSA. Within 24 hours of purchase, Flex will email an itemized receipt and any necessary documentation.
