Did You Know You Can Use Your FSA or HSA for Personal Training?
Push Performance Training is an eligible expense under most Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts. Here is how to use yours.
What Is an FSA or HSA?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Savings Account (HSA) are tax-advantaged accounts that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses. Personal training qualifies as an eligible expense when it is recommended by a physician for a specific health condition — and getting that documentation is easier than you think.
Why Personal Training Qualifies
The IRS allows FSA and HSA funds to be used for personal training when it is prescribed as treatment for a diagnosed medical condition. Common qualifying conditions include obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and more. A Letter of Medical Necessity from your doctor is the key to unlocking these funds for your training at Push Performance.
