Using Your HSA or FSA for Training

Introduction
Students training at Oom Yung Doe Northwest may be able to apply funds from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) toward their training. This is possible when a licensed healthcare provider determines that training supports the treatment of a diagnosed medical condition. Eligibility and approval rest entirely with the student's own healthcare provider and their HSA or FSA plan administrator, not with Oom Yung Doe Northwest.
 
Please Note
Oom Yung Doe Northwest is not a medical provider and does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any medical condition. We are unable to confirm eligibility, submit claims on a student's behalf, or guarantee that any HSA or FSA claim will be approved. All eligibility and reimbursement questions should be directed to the student's own healthcare provider and plan administrator.
 
How This Works
Martial arts training, like a gym membership or yoga class, falls under what the IRS considers a "dual purpose" expense: suitable for general health, but not automatically reimbursable through an HSA or FSA. To use these funds toward training, a student must first obtain a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed healthcare provider. This letter confirms that training addresses a diagnosed condition and is typically valid for up to twelve months.
