Pay with HSA / FSA
Every sauna here already qualifies
Thanks to our partnership with TrueMed, every sauna we carry already qualifies for HSA and FSA funds. You do not have to guess whether yours is eligible or chase down paperwork on your own. TrueMed handles the letter of medical necessity, the document that lets you put pre-tax health dollars toward your sauna.

What this means for you
Thanks to the TrueMed partnership, the eligibility question is already answered for the saunas we sell. TrueMed and your plan confirm the final details for your specific situation, and you keep the paperwork for your taxes. For most buyers using a sauna for a health reason, it is straightforward. If you want certainty for your circumstances, a quick check with your plan administrator or tax advisor settles it.
One note for built-in saunas
If a sauna is permanently installed and raises your home's value, the IRS treats it as a home improvement, and only the cost above that increase counts. A freestanding unit is treated more like equipment. Your tax advisor can tell you which applies to you.
General information, not tax advice
HSA and FSA rules depend on your circumstances and can change, and you are responsible for your own records, generally kept for at least three years. TrueMed determines whether it can issue a letter of medical necessity; your plan determines reimbursement. When in doubt, ask your tax advisor.
