Can Truemed Issue a Letter of Medical Necessity for Purchases Made Through Third-Party Financing or Installment Plans?
Yes — if you’re purchasing a product or service using third-party financing or an installment plan (such as Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay, or a direct payment plan with a merchant), Truemed can still issue a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) to help support your HSA/FSA reimbursement.
Here’s How It Works
If you’re not checking out through the Truemed-integrated payment experience:
You’ll need to complete our clinical intake questionnaire independently
You can start this by reaching out to support@truemed.com
A fee applies since you're using the LMN outside of a merchant-integrated flow
Once approved, your LMN will support reimbursement for purchases made from that date forward
For example, if your LMN is dated May 20th, you can submit receipts dated May 20th or later
You’ll submit your LMN and itemized receipt to your HSA/FSA administrator
This may allow you to get reimbursed for purchases made with a personal credit card or third-party financing
Important Notes
Truemed does not offer or process financing directly. If you're using a payment plan, that is managed entirely by the merchant or third-party provider.
Your LMN cannot be backdated, so make sure to complete the intake form before or on the same day as your purchase.
