We are incredibly excited to announce a new partnership that will help your clients save massively on their fitness and wellness journey.
Thanks to our exciting new partnership with Truemed, qualified individuals can now get reimbursed for their TrueCoach sessions from their HSA/FSA accounts. Because these are pre-tax dollars, this effectively means customers receive up to 30% savings on your services. With your clients now being able to use healthcare dollars to pay for your coaching, this benefit is just as much for you as it is for them.
By providing this option, we hope to increase:
- Retention on athletes and clients who might cancel
- Conversion for athletes and clients who might be on the fence to purchase
- Average spend by your existing athletes and clients
Unlock Your Clients’ Tax-Free Benefits
With TrueMed, they can use these tax-free funds to pay for your coaching services, potentially saving an average of 30%! This not only makes your services more affordable for new clients but also helps existing clients save on future sessions, lowering churn rates and increasing long-term commitment.
How TrueMed Works
- Provide customers with this link: www.truemed.com/truecoach – this link takes your customers to the Truemed X TrueCoach landing page.
- By clicking “Get Started” they will be taken to the telehealth survey, after which they will pay a small fee ($20) to Truemed to facilitate the evaluation of their Letter of Medical Necessity.
- Their responses are reviewed by Truemed’s partner licensed practitioners. If the practitioner determines that your personal training or coaching services are recommended given the athlete’s medical condition, they will email the athlete a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN), along with instructions on how to submit their payments for reimbursement.
- This letter is valid for 12 months. If the customer experiences any issues with reimbursement, Truemed has a best-in-class support team who will work with them to resolve. They can be contacted at support@truemed.com.
Customers can think of their $20 payment for their LMN as unlocking a 12 month savings by allowing them to use pre-tax dollars.

FAQs
Below are some answers to questions your customers might ask you:
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are tax-free accounts that can be used to pay for qualified health expenses. These accounts are usually set up and managed by an HSA or FSA administrator, and you should have access to said HSA/FSA administrator through your employer (ask your HR department!).
HSAs are typically associated with a high-deductible health plan, and funds do not expire. FSAs are independent of your health plan, and funds elections occur in October-November each year for the following calendar year. FSA funds expire every calendar year.
Unfortunately, HSAs and FSAs are not available outside of the US, and self-employed individuals (who do not have an HSA from a previous employment) do not qualify for HSAs or FSAs.
Truemed partners with merchants and brands to enable qualified customers to use HSA/FSA funds on qualified products and services that are used to treat, mitigate, or prevent a diagnosed medical condition. Truemed partners with a network of individual licensed practitioners who evaluate customers’ eligibility and issue Letters of Medical Necessity to qualifying customers, thereby saving customers money on legitimate medical expenditures.
Truemed is backed by best-in-class investors, including functional medicine pioneer Mark Hyman and founders from Thrive Market, Eight Sleep and Levels.
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). Almost every qualified individual will save between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on their state and tax rate.
