How It Works
Two ways to use your HSA or FSA
The process varies slightly depending on whether you are making a one-time purchase or subscribing. Both paths are straightforward.
One-Time Purchase
Pay directly at checkout
1Add OptimalAmino to your cart and proceed to checkout. Check out as a guest — not with Express Pay or Shop Pay.
2Select Truemed as your payment method and enter your HSA or FSA card details.
3Complete a short health survey to confirm eligibility. Once approved, your order is placed and ships normally.
Guest checkout is required. Truemed only appears when you check out as a guest. Express Checkout and Shop Pay will not show the Truemed option.
Subscription
Get reimbursed after purchase
1Subscribe and check out as usual, paying with your regular credit or debit card.
2Follow the reimbursement instructions in your order confirmation email to submit the purchase to your HSA or FSA administrator.
Truemed will provide a Letter of Medical Necessity to support your reimbursement request. Most administrators accept this documentation.
Annual Contribution Limits
How much can you spend?
The IRS sets annual limits on HSA and FSA contributions. Here is what qualifying individuals can put to work.
HSA / Individual
$4,150
Per year in pre-tax contributions. Family plans allow up to $8,300. Age 55 or older? You can contribute an additional $1,000 as a catch-up.
FSA / Individual
$3,200
Per year in pre-tax contributions, with up to $500 in employer matching allowed. FSA dollars expire at year end. Spend remaining funds before December 31st.
HSA / FSA Eligible
Every OptimalAmino product qualifies
Every product in the OptimalAmino line is eligible for purchase using HSA or FSA funds through Truemed.
HSA and FSA accounts let you set aside income before it is taxed and spend those dollars on qualified health expenses. Because you never paid income tax on those funds, each dollar in your account goes further than a dollar spent from your take-home pay. Qualifying customers save around 30% on average.
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) are programs that allow you to set aside pre-tax income for eligible healthcare expenses. If you are unsure whether you have one, check with your employer or benefits provider.
Yes, for one-time purchases. Select Truemed as your payment method at checkout and enter your HSA or FSA card just like any debit card. You must check out as a guest. Truemed does not appear when using Express Pay or Shop Pay.
Yes. If you prefer to pay with a credit card or are placing a subscription order, Truemed will send instructions after checkout walking you through how to submit for reimbursement from your HSA or FSA administrator.
A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is a document from a licensed provider that substantiates why a product qualifies as a medical expense. There is strong clinical evidence that essential amino acid supplementation can help treat, mitigate, or prevent specific diagnosed conditions. Truemed's providers issue LMNs that meet IRS requirements, making the purchase eligible for reimbursement the same way a prescription or a physician visit would be.
No. There is no cost to you when shopping with a Truemed partner merchant like OptimalAmino.
Most letters are issued within 24 to 48 hours. If you do not see your letter in your inbox, check your spam folder first. You can also reach Truemed at support@truemed.com.
You can use FSA funds at any point during the plan year. Unlike HSAs, FSA dollars typically do not roll over at year end. Any unused balance is forfeited after December 31st in most plans, so it is worth spending remaining funds before the year closes.
No. Truemed is currently only available to customers in the United States with active HSA or FSA accounts.
