The short answer

In many cases, yes. With a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed provider, an infrared sauna can qualify as an eligible HSA/FSA medical expense — saving most buyers around 30% in pre-tax dollars. Peak handles the LMN automatically through Truemed at checkout. Eligibility depends on your plan and situation; confirm with your administrator or tax advisor.

How it works in 4 steps

1

Qualify

At checkout, Truemed runs a short health survey to screen your eligibility — takes a couple of minutes.

2

Get your LMN

If you qualify, a licensed provider issues your Letter of Medical Necessity automatically — no doctor visit to schedule.

3

Pay pre-tax

Use your HSA/FSA card at checkout, or pay normally and submit for reimbursement with the LMN.

4

Save ~30%

Because HSA/FSA dollars are pre-tax, most buyers save around 30% on the total cost.

What you should know

Why saunas can qualify

When a licensed provider documents that an infrared sauna supports treating or preventing a medical condition, the IRS allows it as an eligible medical expense — the same mechanism behind many wellness purchases.

The honest caveats

Eligibility isn't automatic for everyone — it depends on your health profile, plan rules, and administrator. It's not tax advice; confirm specifics with your HSA/FSA administrator or a tax professional before purchasing.
