When to Escalate to Truemed
Not every customer question about Truemed needs to go to Truemed’s support team. This article helps your team know what they can handle directly, what to direct the customer to do on their own, and what should be escalated to Truemed.
What your team handles directly
These are standard merchant responsibilities that don’t involve Truemed:
- Order status, shipping, and tracking
- Returns, exchanges, and refunds (process these through your normal workflow)
- Product questions (features, sizing, availability)
- General customer account issues on your site
Even when a customer paid with HSA/FSA funds, the order itself is yours. Fulfillment, returns, and product support stay with your team.
What customers can do on their own
For these common scenarios, your team can point the customer in the right direction without contacting Truemed:
What gets escalated to Truemed
Direct the customer to support@truemed.com for anything involving the clinical process, LMN documentation, or Truemed system issues:
- Customer completed the survey but never received an LMN (after checking spam and dashboard)
- Customer was not approved and has questions about the outcome
- Customer needs an LMN modified, reissued, or renewed
- A product should be eligible but the Truemed option doesn’t appear at checkout (after confirming guest checkout)
- Customer’s HSA/FSA reimbursement claim was denied and they need help with the appeal
- Customer has questions about partial eligibility amounts
- Customer needs a survey link for a new product or a replacement link
- Dispute involving a Truemed-processed charge on a credit or debit card
What to collect before escalating
When directing a customer to Truemed support, ask them to include:
- The email address they used at checkout or on the survey
- The order number
- The product name
- A brief description of the issue
This helps Truemed’s support team resolve the issue faster instead of going back and forth for basic details.
When to contact your CSM
Your Truemed Customer Success Manager is the right contact for questions about your integration, account setup, or anything operational on the merchant side:
- Questions about your integration type or how Truemed is configured on your store
- Requests to add new products or SKUs to Truemed’s system
- Reporting patterns (e.g., multiple customers reporting the same checkout issue)
- Account or billing questions
Reach your CSM directly or contact merchants@truemed.com.
