1. Confirm eligibility
Contact your benefits administrator to ask whether your massage qualifies and what documentation is required.
Does my massage qualify?
Massage therapy may qualify when it is used to treat or manage a specific medical condition. Massage booked solely for relaxation, general wellness, or everyday stress relief generally does not qualify.
Before booking, check your account’s eligibility and documentation requirements. You may need a Letter of Medical Necessity from your healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s note?
You may need a Letter of Medical Necessity or other documentation. Requirements vary, so check with your benefits administrator before your appointment.
Does an approved card payment mean my massage is eligible?
No. A successful transaction does not establish medical eligibility. You are responsible for ensuring that your account funds are used for qualifying expenses.
What if my FSA or HSA card is declined?
You can pay using another accepted payment method and request reimbursement if the service qualifies. Keep your receipt and follow your account’s reimbursement instructions.
Can I use these funds for facials or laser hair removal?
Routine cosmetic facials and cosmetic laser hair removal generally do not qualify. This page applies to eligible massage therapy.
Do my funds expire?
FSA spending deadlines, carryovers, and grace periods depend on your plan. HSA balances generally roll over from year to year. Check your account before scheduling.
