When it comes to receipts, what you receive and where to find it depends on which Truemed path you used. Your receipt is one of the two documents you need to submit a successful reimbursement claim — the other is your Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN).
If you paid directly with your HSA or FSA card at the merchant’s checkout, Truemed processed your payment and automatically generates a receipt for you.

What the Truemed receipt includes:
Since your HSA/FSA funds were already used at checkout, you may not need to submit a separate reimbursement claim. However, your administrator may request documentation for their records — in that case, the Truemed receipt and your LMN are the documents to provide.
If you paid with a regular debit or credit card and are now seeking reimbursement from your HSA or FSA administrator, the receipt you need is the one from the merchant — not a Truemed receipt. Because Truemed was not involved in your payment, Truemed does not generate a payment receipt for this path.

What to submit to your HSA/FSA administrator:
For a post-purchase reimbursement claim, you will typically need to submit two documents together:
Truemed provides the medical necessity documentation; the merchant receipt confirms what you purchased and what you paid.
Regardless of which path you used, HSA and FSA administrators typically require that receipts include:
The description field is especially important. Administrators may flag receipts that use vague language like “membership,” “program,” or “class.” If you used Truemed payment at checkout, the Truemed receipt includes plain-language descriptions to help administrators recognize your purchase as an eligible medical expense. If you’re on the post-purchase reimbursement path, make sure your merchant receipt clearly itemizes what was purchased.

Your third-party administrator (TPA) is the company that manages your HSA or FSA account. When you submit a reimbursement claim:
If your TPA asks for a cost comparison document: Some administrators require a cost comparison when reviewing claims for HSA/FSA-eligible products like mattresses, treadmills, or other higher-cost items. This document shows the price difference between the standard version and the medically necessary version, confirming that the eligible amount reflects only the medically necessary portion of the cost.
For common products, Truemed automatically includes cost comparison documentation in your receipt or supporting documents. If you did not receive one and your administrator is requesting it, contact support@truemed.com with your order details.
Submitting your LMN, receipt, and any cost comparison document together in a single submission gives you the best chance of first-time approval.
