A clearer path to using your benefits
- Shop a BBM product or service offered as a one-time purchase.
- Choose Flex at checkout and complete any eligibility review.
- Use your HSA/FSA card or follow the reimbursement path.
Eligibility is individual. Flex availability does not guarantee approval by your plan.
Having an HSA or FSA card alone does not make every purchase eligible. The purchase needs to meet applicable medical-expense and plan rules; some products require a Letter of Medical Necessity.

What can you explore?
BBM offers a Flex payment path on select one-time products and services in these areas. Check the individual product and your plan before purchase.
One-on-one coaching
Explore fitness, nutrition, combined, and injury & rehab coaching built around your circumstances. HSA/FSA coaching uses a separate one-time purchase for a selected duration, rather than monthly subscription billing.
Explore coaching →Consultations
One-time consultations can help you address health, training, nutrition, or injury-related questions with an appropriate BBM professional. Eligibility depends on the specific service and your situation.
Explore consultations →Training programs
Browse strength, conditioning, hypertrophy, and rehab programs. Select programs may qualify when used for a documented medical need.
Explore programs →Courses & learning
Explore BBM educational products. Flex availability and eligibility vary by product, so check the purchase option before checking out.
Explore learning →Supplements
Some BBM supplements may qualify in the context of a specific medical need. Ordinary wellness or performance use alone does not establish eligibility.

Does your purchase qualify?
HSA/FSA eligibility is tied to your individual medical circumstances and plan rules. For products with both general wellness and medical uses, a healthcare professional may need to document why the purchase is medically necessary for you.
Flex can guide you through its eligibility review and, when appropriate, the Letter of Medical Necessity process. Your HSA/FSA administrator may still request documentation or make its own reimbursement determination.
- Choose a specific product or service offered through Flex.
- Be prepared to describe the medical need it addresses.
- Complete any requested review and keep your records.
- Check your plan rules, especially before relying on reimbursement.

Common questions
HSA/FSA questions, answered
Is every BBM product HSA/FSA eligible?
No. Flex is available for select one-time products and services. Your purchase must also qualify under the applicable medical-expense rules and your plan. The presence of a Flex payment option is not a guarantee of approval or reimbursement.
What is a Letter of Medical Necessity?
It is documentation from a healthcare professional explaining why a product or service is medically necessary for a particular person. Flex will explain its review process when a letter may be needed. Keep the letter and your itemized receipt in case your plan administrator asks for them.
Can I use my HSA/FSA for a BBM membership or monthly coaching subscription?
BBM’s Flex checkout currently supports eligible one-time purchases, not recurring subscription charges. For one-on-one coaching, choose the designated HSA/FSA one-time purchase for your selected duration. Plus, Premium, Program Library, and other recurring memberships are outside this purchase path.
What if I do not have my HSA/FSA card?
Where Flex offers the option, you can pay with a regular card through the Flex checkout and use the itemized receipt and any required documentation to request reimbursement from your HSA/FSA administrator. Reimbursement is subject to your plan’s rules and approval.
Why do I not see Flex at checkout?
Check that you selected a supported one-time product rather than a recurring subscription. Flex may also be unavailable when your cart includes an unsupported item. If you believe the option should appear, contact BBM Support with the product name and a description of what you see. Do not complete a different checkout expecting automatic HSA/FSA reimbursement.
Do HSA and FSA funds expire at year-end?
HSA balances generally carry forward from year to year. FSA plan years, spending deadlines, grace periods, and carryover provisions vary by employer plan. Check your benefits documents or ask your plan administrator for the dates that apply to you.
Who can help with an order or an eligibility question?
For BBM products, orders, or a missing checkout option, email support@barbellmedicine.com. For Flex’s eligibility review, documents, card decline, or reimbursement process, contact support@withflex.com. Your plan administrator can answer questions about your plan’s coverage and deadlines.
HSA/FSA payment availability does not establish medical necessity, guarantee that a Letter of Medical Necessity will be issued or accepted, or guarantee plan approval or reimbursement. Customers are responsible for confirming eligibility, keeping records, and following their plan’s requirements. See BBM’s Terms & Conditions.
