This new collaboration gives millions of consumers enrolled in flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) convenient access to ShedRx weight management services
DALLAS (June 6, 2024) – Losing weight is an important factor in treating disease and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which is in part why annually, nearly 50% of adults say they want to lose weight. Fortunately, for the roughly 70 million people who are enrolled in HSAs and FSAs, a new collaboration between Health-E Commerce® and ShedRx™ makes it possible for those who need it to purchase weight management patient support and medications with tax-free healthcare funds.
“Maintaining a healthy weight is a cornerstone to help mitigate and manage illness, and it can help improve outcomes for people with conditions like high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Our new collaboration with ShedRx is important, because it makes it easier for FSA and HSA users to get the support they need to achieve and maintain a healthy weight while saving money with their tax-free funds and living healthier lives,” said Keri Kaiser, chief revenue officer at Health-E Commerce.
The new collaboration between Health-E Commerce and ShedRx gives consumers who shop at FSA Store and HSA Store 50% off their first appointment with a ShedRx healthcare provider. It also includes 15% off their first month’s subscription cost which includes medication and ongoing provider support. FSA and HSA-eligible options include those where a medicine is prescribed and included with the subscription.
"Our team of trained clinicians understand how important, yet how hard it can be to safely lose weight and keep it off," said Morley Baker, chief executive officer of ShedRx. "By extending this special offer to FSA and HSA users, we hope to change and improve the lives and health of individuals and families across the country."
ShedRx monthly subscription options include monthly medication, like Semaglutide, at varying doses, medication supplies, standard or expedited shipping, and patient support. Users also have the option to purchase one-on-one Health Coaching which includes educational modules and professional instruction to learn personalized healthy habits needed to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, specific to the individual. These services will likely be eligible with FSA or HSA if a doctor recommends it to treat the user’s condition.
