Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are special accounts that let you set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for medical expenses. These funds can be used for a wide range of health-related purchases, often including items you use every day as a parent.

While some health-related products are automatically eligible for HSA/FSA spending, others, like baby wraps, may qualify when accompanied by a Letter of Medical Necessity.

A Letter of Medical Necessity is like a doctor's note. It's issued by a licensed healthcare provider to document why a product is medically needed for your or your baby's health. This letter qualifies certain purchases to be HSA/FSA eligible.

We've partnered with Sika Health to make this process easy and fast. Simply select "Sika Health" at checkout and follow a short intake form to determine eligibility.

Letter of Medical Necessity FAQ

An LMN, or Letter of Medical Necessity, is like a doctor’s note. It’s issued by a healthcare provider to outline the medical reasons why a particular product or service is medically necessary for an individual's health, and qualifies your purchase to be HSA/FSA eligible. LMNs demonstrate that an expense is needed to diagnose, treat, or alleviate a medical symptom, rather than for general health or wellness purposes.

If you want to use your HSA/FSA funds to purchase Tuck and Bundle’s products, you’ll need a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN), and we’ve partnered with Sika to help you with this. 

Certain products are eligible for purchase with HSA/FSA funds if they treat, cure, prevent, diagnose, or alleviate a medical need. For instance, items like bandaids are always eligible as they serve a solely medical purpose. However, there are “dual-eligible” products that can be used for general health and wellness or for specific medical purposes if recommended by a healthcare provider based on your individual needs. Take baby wraps, for example; many parents use them for bonding, convenience, and comfort. Yet, for those with specific medical needs, such as colic or flat head syndrome, a baby wrap may be considered a medically necessary item. In such cases, individuals can use their HSA/FSA funds if their healthcare provider issues an LMN, recommending the baby wrap to help address their specific need.

Choose Sika as your payment method to use your HSA/FSA at checkout for your qualified purchase. You’ll fill out a quick survey to tell Sika's provider team about your qualifying symptom(s). Once you’re approved, Sika will email your receipt and next steps for substantiation.

Our healthcare provider team strives to provide a response within 12 business hours after you submit your LMN intake forms.

To see if you’re a candidate for a Letter of Medical Necessity, you’ll be asked to share your name, contact information, date of birth, and information about the symptoms you are experiencing and your medical history. We will also verify your phone number and ask you to upload a photo ID to verify your identity. 

The information you provide in the LMN process will be kept confidential and shared only with Sika’s healthcare providers to evaluate your eligibility for an LMN. For more information, see Sika’s privacy policy.

Letters of Medical Necessity are valid for 12 months from the day they are signed and written. 

Please note, LMNs cannot be used retroactively for purchases made prior to the date they are signed.

After you complete a purchase using an LMN, you will need to submit your Letter of Medical Necessity and your receipt to substantiate the purchase if you paid with your HSA/FSA or to get reimbursed if you paid with your credit/debit card. To do this:

  1. Log into your HSA/FSA account on your benefit administrator’s website 
  2. Find the Reimbursement or Claims section 
  3. Upload your receipt and Letter of Medical Necessity

Your administrator will process and evaluate your claim. Please note that some HSA/FSA benefits administrators may incorrectly deny reimbursement, so before purchasing a product with an LMN you should consider contacting your administrator to determine if your purchases will be covered/reimbursed. You can learn more about what is eligible here. 

If you are having trouble locating your itemized receipt or LMN, please contact Sika at support@sikahealth.com

Sika’s independent healthcare provider may determine that you do not have symptoms demonstrating a medical necessity for a product or service. While you cannot use your HSA/FSA funds now, you can still use another payment method to complete your purchase on our site. We do not recommend reapplying.
