Can you use your HSA or FSA for Orangetheory?

Yes — with documentation. Orangetheory’s parent company has partnered with telehealth providers on HSA/FSA eligibility, which tells you the category is real: structured exercise can be medical treatment. Any compliant Letter of Medical Necessity does the job — a physician documents that your membership treats a diagnosed condition, and the fees become reimbursable pre-tax.

What you need

  • A diagnosed condition that structured exercise treats
  • A Letter of Medical Necessity dated before the membership period you claim
  • Itemized billing from your Orangetheory account

The steps, in order

  1. Letter first — before the classes or membership period you claim
  2. Pay Orangetheory normally; save itemized statements
  3. Submit letter + statements to your administrator, or self-reimburse from an HSA
  4. Renew annually

Need the letter itself?

A board-certified physician reviews your health profile and, when clinically appropriate, issues a signed Letter of Medical Necessity the same day — with the diagnosis, ICD-10 code, duration, NPI and license your planlooks for. $69, full refund if a letter isn’t issued. The eligibility check is free.

Common questions

Do class packs count, or only unlimited memberships?

Either can, when the letter names structured exercise sessions as the prescribed treatment. Claim what the letter covers.

Orangetheory has its own HSA/FSA partner — why use MedSlip?

An independent letter is yours: it works with any administrator, any gym, and any combination of eligible expenses, and it comes from a named physician whose NPI and license appear on the letter itself.

What almost always gets denied?

Claims for months before the letter existed, letters without a specific diagnosis, and general-wellness framing. Letter first, diagnosis named, receipts kept — that is the whole game.
