Can You Use HSA/FSA for an Infrared Sauna?
Yes — in many cases. Here's how a Letter of Medical Necessity makes a sauna an eligible pre-tax expense, and how to save about 30%.
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

If you qualify, a licensed provider issues your Letter of Medical Necessity automatically — no doctor visit to schedule.
Pay pre-tax
Use your HSA/FSA card at checkout, or pay normally and submit for reimbursement with the LMN.
Save ~30%

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.
