If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical expenses and products. However, not all products are eligible for reimbursement, and some require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) to qualify.
A Letter of Medical Necessity or LMN is a written statement from a licensed healthcare provider that explains why a specific medical expense is necessary for the treatment or management of a medical condition. LMNs are required for certain medical expenses to qualify for reimbursement through an FSA or HSA.
For example, if you have a medical condition that causes chronic pain in your knees, and your doctor recommends that you use orthopedic sneakers to help alleviate the pain, the orthopedic sneakers are an eligible expense under your FSA or HSA, but you'll need an LMN from your doctor to prove that it's medically necessary.
At Shop Home Med, we understand the importance of FSA and HSA-eligible medical products. That's why we offer a long list of FSA and HSA-approved products, and accept FSA/HSA payments. We also accept FSA/HSA payments with an LMN for specialized FSA products, making it easy for our customers to use their FSA card on LMN-eligible medical products.

What if I don't have an FSA or HSA, can I still buy products from Shop Home Med? Yes, you can still buy products from Shop Home Med even if you don't have an FSA or HSA. We accept many different kinds of payment methods.
Can I use my FSA or HSA to pay for shipping and handling fees? Yes, you can use your FSA or HSA to pay for shipping and handling fees as long as the product itself is eligible for reimbursement.
What happens if I have funds left over in my FSA or HSA at the end of the plan year? If you have funds left over in your FSA or HSA at the end of the plan year, you may be able to roll over a portion of the funds into the next plan year, or you may lose the funds. It's important to check with your plan guidelines to see what options are available to you.
