Rethinking Healthcare: How Truemed Is Unlocking HSA/FSA Dollars for Real, Preventative Health
Every day, millions of Americans are battling chronic conditions—heart disease, diabetes, obesity, anxiety, and more. But what if you could prevent or even reverse these conditions before prescriptions or procedures became necessary?
At Truemed, we believe that the most powerful form of healthcare is prevention. That’s why we help people use their HSA/FSA funds—the money they’ve already set aside for health—to invest in real, proven tools that support long-term change.
A New Kind of Healthcare Company
Truemed was built on a simple but powerful idea: the best healthcare is the kind you never need. Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity aren’t random—they’re largely preventable. Yet our healthcare system is built to treat these diseases after they show up.
We’re changing that.
Truemed partners with forward-thinking brands that prioritize prevention through fitness, nutrition, recovery, and daily health optimization. Our role? Making sure more people can access those products using tax-free dollars from their Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
Yes, Even Healthy Food and Exercise Can Be Covered
Under IRS guidelines, many products and services that help prevent or reverse chronic disease can be eligible for HSA/FSA spending with a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). That includes things like:
- Exercise equipment for cardiovascular and metabolic health
- Nutritional supplements to address deficiencies or support clinical goals
- Therapeutic food or structured meal plans for reversing conditions like Type 2 diabetes or obesity
- Sleep tech, wearables, and recovery tools that improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and support nervous system regulation—critical for preventing and reversing conditions like anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and metabolic dysfunction.
In other words: You can invest in your health—and use pre-tax dollars to do it. Truemed helps facilitate the clinical documentation required, so you can access what’s legally eligible without jumping through hoops.
Our Mission: Prevent. Reverse. Thrive.
Truemed exists to help people prevent and reverse chronic disease through sustainable lifestyle change—not just prescriptions.
We’re guided by science and driven by impact. Every day, we help thousands of individuals use their HSA/FSA cards to purchase:
- Real, nutrient-dense food
- Fitness and movement tools
- Recovery devices and diagnostics
- And dozens of other tools that make healthy living easier and more effective
Because we believe that everyone deserves access to healthcare that actually cares for health—not just sick care.
Why This Matters
Chronic disease is the greatest health and economic burden of our time. But 80–90% of it is preventable through lifestyle. Yet most Americans don’t have the time, money, or guidance to take action—until it’s too late.
Truemed is here to change the system. To redirect billions of healthcare dollars toward true medicine: food, movement, recovery, sleep, stress management, and more.
It’s not a luxury. It’s a necessity.
