HSA/FSA Payments Using Flex

PowerBlock has partnered with Flex to allow qualified customers to use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This means you may be able to use your HSA or FSA debit card to buy PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells and compatible accessories with pre-tax dollars, resulting in net savings of 30-40%.

What is a qualified customer? The IRS oversees HSA and FSA eligibility and dictates that a customer must have a medical condition or disease that they are seeking to treat or manage with PowerBlock workout equipment. Customers must have documentation that confirms their eligibility, also called a Letter of Medical Necessity. Not to worry, PowerBlock has partnered with Flex to make this a quick and easy process for you.

How do I use my HSA/FSA to pay for PowerBlock? At checkout, select Flex | Pay with HSA/FSA as your payment option. You will be prompted to complete a brief Telehealth consult to confirm your eligibility to pay with HSA/FSA. From there, enter your HSA or FSA debit card details and complete your checkout as usual.

Within 24 hours of your purchase, Flex will email you both a Letter of Medical Necessity as well as an itemized receipt. Keep these documents for your records should your HSA/FSA provider or the IRS require additional documentation.

FAQs

An FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and an HSA (Health Savings Account) are tax-advantaged accounts for medical expenses but differ in key aspects. FSAs, employer-sponsored, allow employees to use pre-tax dollars for medical expenses such as prescriptions and copays, but typically feature a "use-it-or-lose-it" policy where funds must be used within the plan year. HSAs are available to those with a high-deductible health plan and offer more flexibility, allowing funds to roll over annually.

Select “Flex | Pay with HSA/FSA'' at checkout. Input your card details and checkout as usual.

If a purchase requires verification of eligibility, follow the steps to complete a brief telehealth consult via chat.

This means that none of the items in your cart may be HSA or FSA eligible.

If you continue to be pushed into the ShopPay checkout, we recommend completing your purchase in an incognito window.

Like any credit or debit card, HSA/FSAs can be declined if any of the data from the card is incorrect (number, expiration date, zip code etc). Flex will alert you in checkout if any of these fields is missing or incorrect so you can update them.

The most common reason for rejection of the card is insufficient funds. Reach out to your HSA or FSA provider to verify the amount of money in your account before attempting to complete your purchase again.

Letter of Medical Necessity (LOMN) is a document written by a healthcare provider that explains why a specific medical service, treatment, or equipment is necessary for a patient's health. In relation to an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account), an LOMN is often required for reimbursement of expenses that are not clearly defined as eligible under the standard IRS guidelines.

Flex has partnered with PowerBlock to enable consumers to use their HSA/FSA funds. You can think of Flex as an alternative to payment method, similar to Affirm, Klarna etc.
