Is Fitbit Charge 6 HSA or FSA Eligible?

Fitness trackers with cardiac monitoring capabilities may qualify under IRS Publication 502 when used to manage a specific medical condition. A Letter of Medical Necessity from your physician — citing conditions like atrial fibrillation, hypertension, or diabetes — is required.

The full list of qualified medical expenses is defined in IRS Publication 502, updated annually. The CARES Act of 2020 expanded eligibility to include all OTC medicines and menstrual care products.

1. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and discuss the medical condition you need to manage.
2. Request a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) citing Fitbit Charge 6 by name.
3. Purchase the product with your HSA/FSA debit card, or pay out of pocket.
4. Submit your receipt + LMN through your plan administrator's portal.
5. Save the documentation for at least 7 years for IRS records.
