To Whom It May Concern,

Re: Letter of Medical Necessity for Gym Membership/Fitness Training

I am writing this letter on behalf of my patient, [Patient Full Name], who is under my care for the treatment of a medical condition. It is my professional opinion that participation in a structured fitness program, such as a gym membership and fitness training, is medically necessary to manage and improve their health condition(s).

[Patient Name] has been diagnosed with the following condition(s):

• [Condition 1]

• [Condition 2]

• [Condition 3, if applicable]

Based on their diagnosis, the following benefits are expected as part of a structured fitness program:

1. Improved management of [specific condition(s), e.g., diabetes, hypertension, obesity, chronic pain, mental health, etc.].

2. Prevention of disease progression or complications related to their condition.

3. Enhanced overall health, mobility, and quality of life.

   
   

I am recommending a gym membership and training at Switch Energy Fitness to help [Patient Name] achieve these health objectives. The facility offers the resources, programs, and support required for [Patient Name] to engage in regular physical activity under safe and controlled conditions.

This recommendation aligns with medically accepted treatments, and physical activity is a widely recognized component in the management of many chronic conditions. Therefore, I request that the cost of [Patient Name]'s gym membership and fitness training be reimbursable under their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

If you have any questions regarding this recommendation or require further details about [Patient Name]'s medical history, please do not hesitate to contact me at the information above.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,[Provider’s Name and Credentials][Provider’s Signature]

Tips for Your Members:

1. Attach Proof of Membership: Include a receipt or statement from the fitness facility

   
   

2. Keep Medical Records: Encourage clients to maintain records of their health condition for submission, if needed.

   
   

3. Check with the HSA/FSA Administrator: Not all administrators cover gym memberships, even with an LMN, so you should confirm eligibility.
