Compliant HSA/FSA Messaging

Edited

Give your team plug‑and‑play, compliant language to market HSA/FSA payments through Truemed—without slowing down creative.


Fast Rules (Print & Pin)

Do:

  • Treat eligibility as conditional ("may be eligible," "if you qualify").

  • Tie eligibility to specific products or narrow categories unless nearly all products qualify.

  • Use precise terminology: practitioner / clinician / healthcare provider, clinical intake form / health survey / medical questionnaire, Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN).

  • Place the disclaimer near the claim and make it readable:
    Truemed is for qualified customers. HSA/FSA tax savings vary. Learn more at truemed.com/disclosures.

  • When using savings, present as average of 30% and add the disclaimer.

Don’t:

  • Promise approvals or imply certainty (no "guaranteed," "is eligible," "approved").

  • Make blanket brand/category eligibility claims for mixed catalogs.

  • Use vague wellness language as a basis for eligibility ("feel energized," "radiant").

  • Call clinicians "our" or say "doctor" or "doctor’s note."

  • Say Truemed is free or paid by someone else; use “included in the purchase price.”


Mandated Terminology

Use

  • Practitioner / clinician / healthcare provider

  • Independent licensed practitioner (when helpful)

  • Clinical intake form / health survey / medical questionnaire

  • Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN)

  • Qualified / eligible customers

Avoid

  • "Doctor" / "doctor’s note"

  • "Quick survey" (don’t diminish rigor)

  • "Free with Truemed" (instead: The cost of Truemed’s services is included in your purchase price.)


How to Talk About Eligibility (Product vs. Category)

Product‑level (preferred for mixed catalogs):

  • HSA/FSA eligible with a Truemed LMN.

  • This item may be HSA/FSA‑eligible when used to address a specific health condition.

Mixed category page:

  • Some products may qualify for HSA/FSA with a Truemed LMN. Look for the Truemed logo on product pages.

Exception (all/nearly all products eligible):

  • Our products are HSA/FSA eligible with a letter of medical necessity.

  • [Brand] now accepts HSA/FSA for qualified customers.

Never say (for mixed catalogs):

  • [Brand] is HSA/FSA approved.

  • Use your HSA/FSA on our entire [Category].


How to Talk About Savings

What’s allowed:

  • 30% average savings framing with disclaimer.

  • Optional context: depending on tax bracket and state rules.

Copy patterns:

  • 30% savings on average when you pay with HSA/FSA funds.*

  • Truemed makes it simple for qualified customers to pay with HSA/FSA funds and save an average of 30%.

  • Eligible customers save an average of 30% on top of Black Friday deals.

  • Unqualified "save an average of 30%" with no disclaimer.

Required disclaimer near the claim:
Truemed is for qualified customers. HSA/FSA tax savings vary. Learn more at truemed.com/disclosures.


Placement & Design of Disclaimers

  • Proximity: Put the disclaimer on the same screen/creative as the claim, or use an asterisk (*) and point to a clearly visible footer.

  • Readability: Not tiny; contrast against background; in video, visible for 3–4 seconds minimum.

  • Links: If in text, hyperlink to truemed.com/disclosures. In images/video, the URL text is sufficient.

Combined disclaimer (covers eligibility + savings):

FAQs

  • Do we need the disclaimer if the claim is tiny?
    Yes—use proximity or an asterisk to a visible footer.

    Avoid. Only use specific turnaround stats if you can substantiate for a large majority.

  • How do we describe clinician review?
    An independent licensed practitioner will review your clinical intake form.
