Get Your Pridefit membership reimbursed with your HSA or FSA funds
Pridefit is partnering with Dr. B to help make fitness more accessible. Fitness can transform whole-body health. With a Letter of Medical Necessity from Dr. B, qualifying patients can unlock pre-tax HSA/FSA funds to save money on gym memberships, fitness classes, personal training expenses and more.
Eligibility is determined by Dr. B and your health care provider. Pridefit does not partner directly with health care providers and cannot guarantee compatibility.

What is an HSA or FSA account?
HSA and FSA accounts are two kinds of tax-advantaged savings accounts. HSA accounts are available to people with a high-deductible health insurance plan. FSA accounts can be offered by employers as a benefit program. With both, people can deposit part of their income into the account. They won’t pay income tax on money they use from that account. And the funds can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses—making them essentially income tax-free.
How can Pridefit members use their HSA/FSA for their membership?
FSA and HSA withdrawal rules specify what can be bought with FSA/HSA funds. Most people use their HSA/FSA money to pay for health care insurance premiums, urgent care bills, doctor copays and prescription medications. Funds can also be used for over-the-counter medications, rapid tests and masks, mobility tools and more. If someone exercises to prevent or treat a range of medical conditions, related fees like gym memberships, classes and personal training costs can become HSA/FSA eligible, too! But for a person to pay for those things from their HSA/FSA account, a doctor or other licensed provider needs to write them a Letter of Medical Necessity detailing how exercise treats their specific medical condition, justifying the related costs as medically necessary. With that letter, they can submit it and any (new) exercise receipts to their HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement.
What are the benefits of this program?
Qualifying members may get up to the entire cost of their Pridefit purchase reimbursed. How much you save overall depends on your tax bracket. Because no income tax is paid on the money put into an HSA or FSA, the savings come from what you would have paid in income tax. When all is said and done, most people end up saving 20-40% off their membership by using those tax-free funds.
How does it work for you?
We’ve teamed up with Dr. B to help make the process of getting a Letter of Medical Necessity online straightforward and convenient for qualifying members.
Here’s how the process works:
Go to our Dr. B partner page: hidrb.com/and/pridefit
Complete a $15 online medical consultation with Dr. B. Consultations don’t require any scheduling or video and can be done at any time. And they’re available 365 days a year, including holidays.
Once finished, a licensed provider in your state will review your consultation within three working hours. If you qualify, you’ll get a Letter of Medical Necessity and instructions sent straight to your inbox.
You can then submit the letter and your Pridefit receipt to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement, which usually takes place within 1-7 business days.
The Letter of Medical Necessity is valid for one year, and the same letter can be used for Pridefit purchases within 12 months of the original date.
Can members swipe their HSA/FSA cards directly with Pridefit?
No, you cannot swipe your HSA/FSA cards directly in the app store or our website. Instead, you pay your membership upfront and then file for reimbursement through your HSA/FSA administrator.
