Use your HSA/FSA funds towards Somatic Breathwork sessions
We experience our lives through the nervous system. Joy, awe, anxiety, fear - all these common emotions have a corresponding physiological response within our bodies. If we remain in a state of fight/flight (ie. an activated nervous system) for too long, it creates dis-ease in the body, and can also lead to feelings such as overwhelm, exhaustion, feeling stuck, hopelessness, and more. When our body is stuck within a survival response, we are not able to learn, easily connect with others, or embrace our sense of purpose.
At The Way Hom, we believe in the pursuit of well-being as a way to deepen connection to self and your community. Through emotional and nervous system regulation, you have the opportunity to not only train your body back to states of ease and balance, but also build resilience to stress through increasing your window of tolerance to feel both what’s uncomfortable as well as open yourself to feeling what feels good to feel.
We’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with Truemed to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Savings Account (FSA) toward Somatic Breathwork sessions.

Is Truemed free to use?
At the end of the evaluation, Truemed will request a $30 deposit (an amount paid back once you reimburse $100 in payments).
How does using my HSA/FSA save me money?
HSA/FSA accounts were created so individuals could use pretax money to pay for expenses incurred in the prevention or alleviation of a disease. Because HSA/FSA uses tax-free money, you’re getting more purchasing power for your dollars. Rather than pay taxes on income and then spend it on health items, qualified customers can use pre-tax funds to invest in their health.
An individual can contribute up to $4,150 pretax to their HSA per year, or $8,300 for a family (plus an additional $1000 if you are 55+). Individuals can contribute up to $3,200 pretax to their FSA per year (with an additional $500 in employer contributions allowed). Almost every qualified individual will save between $1,000 and $2,000, depending on their state and tax rate.
I don't have an HSA/FSA. Can I still benefit from TrueMed?
Unfortunately, Truemed’s services are for individuals who have HSA or FSA accounts (or plan to fund one during open enrollment). We encourage you to ask your employer about information on your HSA or FSA.
What is a Letter of Medical Necessity, and how is this compliant?
The items in your Truemed Letter of Medical Necessity (“LMN”) are now qualified health expenses in the same way a visit to the doctor’s office or pharmaceutical product is.
We are facing a chronic disease in the US. There are thousands of studies showing food and exercise is often the best medicine to prevent and reverse disease. Exercise qualifies as a qualified health expense with an LMN. Supplements and other wellness purchases qualify as health expenses if they treat or prevent a specific illness, and a licensed provider substantiates the need.
You have our guarantee that Truemed will pay the full amount you should have saved if any HSA/FSA purchase outlined in our LMNs is rejected. Please email support@truemed.com if you have any questions or need assistance.
Can I just use my HSA or FSA card at checkout?
You can attempt to use your HSA card, but your FSA card will likely not transact successfully. In either case, it is imperative that you complete the Truemed intake survey and acquire a Letter of Medical Necessity in order for your purchase to be compliant and eligible for purchasing with your HSA or FSA funds. We strongly encourage simply transacting with your normal credit or debit card, and submitting for reimbursement as outlined above for the greatest likelihood of success.
How long does HSA or FSA reimbursement take?
For most FSA/HSA administrators, your expenses will be approved within days when you submit it with your Truemed Letter of Medical Necessity. The exact timing will vary based on your administrator.
