Making Therapeutic Bodywork More Accessible: Using Your HSA or FSA

Your body's healing deserves investment. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can use pre-tax dollars to support medically necessary massage therapy—making quality therapeutic work more financially accessible.

Understanding HSA and FSA Coverage

These accounts allow you to allocate pre-tax income for qualified medical expenses. While commonly used for conventional medical care, they also cover therapeutic massage when it addresses specific medical conditions and is recommended by a healthcare provider.

Steps to Access Your Benefits

  1. Verify Your Plan's Parameters – Each HSA/FSA administrator has unique guidelines. Contact your provider to confirm massage therapy coverage details.

  2. Obtain Medical Documentation – Most accounts require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your physician indicating that therapeutic massage is prescribed for a specific condition.

  3. Schedule Your Session – Once you have your LMN in hand, you can use your HSA/FSA card for payment at Deptherapeutics.

  4. Maintain Records – Keep copies of receipts and medical documentation for potential account verification. Deptherapeutics will make sure to include all necessary elements on your receipts including CPT codes.

Conditions That May Warrant Prescribed Massage

Healthcare providers commonly recommend therapeutic massage for:

  • Chronic pain patterns including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and persistent musculoskeletal discomfort

  • Post-surgical recovery where lymphatic and connective tissue work supports healing

  • Pregnancy-related concerns including postural compensation and tissue adaptation

  • Nervous system dysregulation manifesting as chronic tension, stress responses, or migraines

  • Injury rehabilitation for sports injuries, repetitive strain, or movement pattern dysfunction
