Things to Know about activity trackers
Fitness trackers, like Garmin, Google, Samsung, Xiaomi watches, are not typically considered medical devices and are not eligible for HSA/FSA funds. However, you may be able to purchase a fitness tracker if a doctor provides a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). An LMN is a formal letter that explains your diagnosis and treatment plan.
