In an exciting new partnership, Garmin has collaborated with Truemed to allow eligible customers to utilize their Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) toward the purchase of their innovative fitness products. This strategic alliance aims to make health-conscious living more financially accessible, enabling consumers to purchase high-quality smartwatches and fitness trackers using pre-tax dollars.
Understanding HSA and FSA
Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts are tax-advantaged financial tools designed to assist individuals in managing their healthcare expenses. By allowing users to use pre-tax dollars for certain products and services, HSAs and FSAs can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs, sometimes saving consumers up to 30%. With Garmin's excellent reputation in fitness products, this new initiative is sure to attract many health-oriented customers.

Garmin, listed on NYSE under GRMN, offers a wide range of products including:
- - fēnix® smartwatches
- - Forerunner® series of fitness trackers
- - Instinct®

Through this collaboration, Garmin is not just making strides in technology but also in healthcare accessibility. Susan Lyman, Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing at Garmin, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to work with Truemed to provide qualified customers with an easy and convenient way to extend their purchasing power using pre-tax dollars for purchasing eligible Garmin products. This exciting collaboration is one more way Garmin is helping empower our customers to reach their health and fitness goals."
Making the Most of Your Purchase
The process to utilize HSA/FSA funds for purchasing is streamlined and user-friendly. Here’s how it works:
1.
Make Your Purchase: Users can buy any eligible Garmin product via their usual payment method.
2.
Complete a Health Assessment: Following the purchase, customers are directed to fill out a private health survey that helps determine their eligibility for HSA/FSA reimbursement. A licensed provider reviews their submission and issues a Letter of Medical Necessity within one to two days if approved.
3.
Submit for Reimbursement: Customers then follow guidelines provided with the Letter of Medical Necessity to claim their purchases for reimbursement. Claims are typically processed within 2-4 weeks.
Through this collaboration, Garmin and Truemed are truly supporting individuals’ health journeys by providing a financial pathway to essential fitness tools. Justin Mares, Co-Founder and CEO of Truemed, stated, "By collaborating with Garmin, a leading global brand, we enable qualified individuals to proactively monitor and manage their health using Garmin's fitness products.
