Frequently Asked Questions

How many people does the Celsium Jonas Classic seat?

Up to four, on two straight aspen benches set as an upper and a lower tier.

What are the exterior dimensions?

85.0" W × 85.0" L × 98.0" H (2,160 × 2,160 × 2,490 mm), a footprint of about 50 sq ft.

What kind of foundation does it need?

Celsium specifies a solid, level base of at least 86.6" × 86.6" (2.2 × 2.2 m). Have the foundation ready before delivery so the kit can be assembled straight onto it.

Is a heater included?

No. The heater is sold separately so it can be matched to your site and electrical service. Celsium's US listing calls for a heater of at least 9 kW, and we recommend an electric heater, control and stones with your quote. The heater and wall control shown in the photos are not part of the sauna kit.

What electrical service does it need?

That depends on the heater you choose. Sauna heaters of this size are hardwired on a dedicated circuit, and a licensed electrician should size the breaker and wire to the heater's nameplate rating. You can find one through our installer & electrician directory.

Can I use a wood-burning stove instead?

Celsium's US listing calls for a heater of at least 9 kW, and we pair it with an electric heater. Celsium's configurator also lists wood-burning versions; if you prefer a wood stove, ask us and we'll confirm the options for your site with Celsium.

What is the exterior made of?

ThermoWood®, offered in Beige, Grey, Ebony, Teak and Hazel. Because it's natural wood, the final color and grain may vary slightly from the photos.

What is ThermoWood®?

ThermoWood® is thermally modified timber: wood treated with high heat and steam instead of chemicals. The process makes it more stable and more resistant to moisture and decay than untreated wood, which suits outdoor cladding.

What is the interior made of?

Aspen lines the interior walls and the two-tier benches.

How is the sauna insulated?

The walls, ceiling and floor are insulated with 5 cm (about 2") PIR insulation boards, which help the cabin hold its heat outdoors.

What kind of roof does it have?

EPDM rubber roofing, a durable membrane that provides long-lasting weather protection.

What glass does it use?

The front is one large bronze-tinted glass panel that covers most of the wall, and the full-height door is 8 mm tempered glass. The tint softens glare while letting daylight into the room.

Which side is the door on?

The full-height glass door is on the left-hand side: facing the glass front, it's in the side wall on your left, at the end nearest the glass. Some photos show the door on the opposite side; images are for illustration purposes only.

Does it have lighting?

Yes. Celsium includes an indoor LED strip in the package. It's installed on site, and you can fit the included strip or a locally sourced LED strip rated for sauna temperatures.

Which bench layout does it come with?

Two straight aspen benches, an upper and a lower tier, each 72.2" (1,835 mm) long; the upper bench is 22.8" (580 mm) deep and the lower 20.3" (515 mm). This is Celsium's standard layout, which Celsium calls Bench Type A. If you have a different bench layout in mind, tell us when you request pricing and we'll confirm the options with Celsium.

How high are the benches?

Celsium designs the bench heights to Finnish sauna standards, which distributes the heat evenly and keeps your feet comfortably warm. Celsium's drawings don't state the finished seat heights; ask us and we'll confirm them with Celsium.

How is it delivered?

It ships flat-packed and is delivered securely on pallets. Delivery is curbside, and liftgate service can be added so the carrier lowers the pallet to the ground. Moving the components from the curb to your site is up to you, so plan for helpers or equipment.

How large and heavy is the shipment?

The sauna ships flat-packed. Celsium's US listing gives the weight as approximately 1,543 lbs (about 700 kg), and its product sheet lists a flat-pack pallet size of about 86.6" × 98.4" × 47.2" (2.2 × 2.5 × 1.2 m). We confirm the shipping weight and pallet details with your quote.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is complimentary to the continental US and included in your quote. Deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are quoted separately.

How long does assembly take?

Celsium doesn't publish an assembly time. The kit arrives with step-by-step installation guidelines, and you can hire a local contractor for assembly and a licensed electrician for the heater connection.

Do you offer installation?

We supply the sauna and coordinate its delivery; installation is arranged locally. Our installation directory lists contractors and electricians near you.

How long until it arrives?

We'll confirm the current lead time and delivery scheduling with your quote.

Can I order a different size or configuration?

Celsium's configurator lists a Jonas Classic Shower version, 1,250 mm (about 49.2") longer, a choice of door side, a hidden wooden door, other glass options and wood-burning heaters. Ask us and we'll confirm with Celsium which options apply to your order, with pricing and lead time in your quote.

How does it compare with the Jonas Grand?

The Jonas Classic seats up to four on an 85" × 85" footprint and needs a heater of at least 9 kW. The Jonas Grand seats up to six on an 85" × 109.6" footprint and needs at least 11 kW. Both share the ThermoWood® exterior, aspen interior, PIR insulation, EPDM roof and bronze-tinted glass.

What warranty does it come with?

Celsium covers the structure for 5 years and all other parts for 2 years. As an authorized Celsium dealer, we handle warranty support with you directly.

Where is it made?

The Jonas Classic is handcrafted in Lithuania at Celsium's own factory. Celsium is a member of Sauna from Finland, the North American Sauna Society and the Australian Sauna Association.

Can it be used commercially?

That depends on your site and local code. The cabin isn't sold as a UL-, ETL- or CSA-listed electrical appliance: the heater and electrical equipment are installed separately, so check your local code requirements before ordering for a commercial site. For commercial or multi-unit projects, tell us about your site and how it will be used, and we'll provide project support and confirm suitability and Celsium's warranty terms for commercial use with your quote.

Do I need a permit?

Requirements for outdoor structures and electrical work vary by location, so check with your local building department before installation. Your electrician can advise on permits for the heater circuit.

Is it HSA/FSA eligible?

HSA and FSA eligibility can be checked at checkout by selecting Truemed.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, financing options are available. See thesaunarepublic.com/pages/financing for details.

What's your return policy?

Please review our return policy. If you have questions before ordering, we're glad to help.

What if it arrives damaged?

Inspect the shipment before signing, note any damage on the delivery receipt, and email photos to info@thesaunarepublic.com within 24 hours of delivery. We file the claim and replace damaged items at our expense.

How do I get a price?

Tap Get Pricing on this page, call (302) 273-0861 or email info@thesaunarepublic.com. We'll confirm your site, power supply and configuration, then send your best delivered price with heater pairing, financing options and current lead time.

Tracking is emailed as soon as your order ships. Clearlight accessories ordered together with a sauna ship when the sauna ships, by parcel carrier, and may arrive on a different day. Sauna covers are made to order and ship separately, usually after the sauna.

Dundalk saunas are built to order

Changes requested 14 or more days after your order is placed, or within 7 days of the scheduled ship date, carry a $350 fee per change. To delay a scheduled ship date, tell us more than 7 days before it; later requests incur storage charges of $35 per day.

Robes & Textiles

Robes, towels, and bath textiles ship by parcel carrier rather than freight, and follow their own shipping terms.

Free FedEx Ground shipping on textile orders over $100

Orders of $100 or less are charged shipping calculated at checkout. This applies to robes and textiles only — saunas, cold plunges, heaters, and accessories always ship free to the continental United States with no minimum.

Processing & Restrictions

Ground processing — Please allow 3–4 business days for ground orders to be processed before they ship.

Order cut-off — Orders placed after 8:00 AM EST are processed the next business day.

Monogrammed items — Allow an additional 3–5 business days of processing time. This applies to expedited orders as well.

PO Boxes, APO & FPO — Textile orders cannot be shipped to PO Boxes or to APO/FPO military addresses. Please provide a street address at checkout.

Mixed orders — If your order includes a sauna, cold plunge, heater, or accessory, the whole order ships free regardless of the textile subtotal.

Textile orders ship separately from sauna and cold plunge shipments and may arrive on a different date, even when purchased together.

How Freight Delivery Works

Large items (saunas, cold plunges, hot tubs, and most floor-standing heaters and wood-burning stoves) ship via LTL freight. Smaller items (wall-mounted heaters, accessories, wellness devices, Lumaflex, red light towers, robes and textiles) ship via UPS, FedEx, or USPS.

1. We ship your order. Tracking is emailed to you with the estimated delivery timeline.

2. The carrier calls you. The freight company calls to schedule a delivery appointment with you from its available dates and time windows.

3. Curbside delivery. Delivery is to the curb via semi-truck with liftgate (when available). You'll need a plan to move it from the curb to its final location.

4. Sign and inspect. You must be present to sign. Inspect for damage before signing — note any issues on the delivery receipt.

Unloading Your Sauna

Unless inside delivery has been arranged in advance, the driver delivers to the curb only. You are responsible for moving the product to its final location. Have equipment and help arranged before delivery day.

Rent a forklift — Most common choice. Requires forklift extensions. ~$150–300/day.

Hire a tilt tow truck — Flatbed tow with tilt/slide functionality. ~$200–400.

Hire a rigging/moving crew — Professional movers with equipment. Get quotes in advance.

Tilt tow delivery (Dundalk only) — An alternative for sites where a forklift can't be used. Request it when you place your order; contact us for current pricing.

Inside delivery (Clearlight only) — Delivery into your garage, backyard, or a room of your choice, for an additional fee. It must be arranged before the sauna ships, and we'll ask for photos of the delivery path. The boxes are placed, not unpacked or assembled. Requests made after shipment cost more and depend on the carrier.

Clearlight saunas ship in flat panels, not pre-assembled crates. Most can be carried inside by two people without heavy equipment. Dundalk saunas ship in crates longer than 92" weighing 800–1,800 lbs. Liftgate service is not available for these shipments, and most require a forklift with fork extensions to unload.

Damage Claims

If your order arrives damaged, we'll get you a replacement as quickly as possible.

1. Inspect packaging for visible damage before signing.

2. Note damage on the delivery receipt, describing exactly what you see (for example, "crate corner crushed" or "panel scratched"), and have the driver sign. If the packaging is damaged but you can't inspect the contents, write "possible concealed damage" before signing.

3. Do not refuse the delivery unless we ask you to.

4. Take photos of packaging and product damage.

5. Email photos to info@thesaunarepublic.com with your order number within 24 hours.

6. We file the claim and ship your replacement.

Damage must be reported within 24 hours of delivery with photos. Claims filed after 24 hours may not be eligible for a free replacement. Always note visible damage on the delivery receipt — even if it seems minor.

Carriers & Address Info

We reserve the right to select the carrier for all shipments.

Small items (wall-mounted heaters, accessories, wellness devices, red light towers) — UPS or FedEx

Robes & textiles — FedEx Ground. Street addresses only, no PO Boxes or APO/FPO.

Large items (saunas, cold plunges, hot tubs, and most floor-standing heaters and wood-burning stoves) — LTL freight carriers

Lumaflex devices — UPS, FedEx, or USPS

Once large items ship, the delivery address cannot be changed, and the delivery appointment is arranged directly between you and the carrier. If an item is returned due to an incorrect address, you're responsible for shipping costs both ways. If freight delivery fails because the carrier couldn't access your property, it's treated as a return per our return policy.

Remote Areas & Special Locations

Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico — Contact Us Before Purchase

Free shipping does not apply to these locations (except Lumaflex — ships free nationwide). Contact us for a custom shipping quote before ordering. Orders placed without prior approval may be cancelled.

APO/FPO addresses: We ship most items to military addresses, subject to USPS restrictions. Additional fees may apply. Robes and textiles cannot be shipped to APO/FPO or PO Box addresses.

Remote/hard-to-reach areas: Additional fees may apply. We'll contact you before shipping if your location requires special arrangements.

Contact Sauna Republic — we coordinate the claim with Revive Plunge. No restocking fee on warranty claims.

Delivery & Damaged Shipments

Revive products ship by curbside freight. The freight carrier contacts you to schedule delivery, and moving the product from the curb to its final location is the customer's responsibility.

1. Inspect the crate and packaging with the delivery driver present, before signing the bill of lading.

2. Note any visible damage or missing items on the bill of lading. Signing without noting damage confirms the shipment arrived in acceptable condition.

3. Take photos of packaging and product damage.

4. Contact Sauna Republic within 24 hours — email photos to info@thesaunarepublic.com. We report the damage to Revive Plunge and the carrier and coordinate the claim on your behalf.

Concealed damage (not visible until unboxing) must be reported within 24 hours of delivery. Missed delivery appointments may incur redelivery fees. If an undamaged, correct shipment is refused, return freight, redelivery, and storage charges are the customer's responsibility, and the order is treated as a return.

Payment Processing Fees

Applies to all refunds and cancellations initiated by the customer.

Processing Fees Are Not Returned to Us

When you pay by card, our payment processor charges a fee at the time of purchase. Under their terms, that fee is not returned to us when an order is later refunded — the cost stands whether or not the sale completes.

For any return or cancellation initiated by the customer, the processing fee charged on the original transaction is therefore deducted from the refund. This is currently 2.9% of the order total plus $0.30. It is not a fee we retain — it is a cost already paid to the processor.

Where a brand-specific restocking fee also applies, both are deducted.

No Processing Fee Is Deducted When the Fault Is Ours

Products that arrive damaged or defective.

Warranty claims.

Orders we cancel, or errors on our part.

Orders we are unable to fulfil.

Paying by Bank Transfer

Bank transfer and ACH payments carry no processing fee, so nothing is deducted if the order is later refunded. If you would prefer to pay this way, tell us before checkout and we will send a bank transfer invoice instead.

Backorder Cancellation

Orders containing backordered items are subject to a 6% cancellation fee as we are charged by our payment processor when backorders are cancelled. All lead times are estimates and subject to change.

HSA/FSA Purchases

Our standard return policy applies to all HSA/FSA purchases. Products with brand-specific exceptions follow those policies. There is no IRS requirement that HSA/FSA purchases be final sale.

HSA/FSA refunds are processed back to your original HSA/FSA card within 3–10 business days. Truemed cannot redirect refunds to a different payment method.

HSA holders: Notify your custodian to treat the original purchase as a "mistaken distribution" under IRS Notice 2004-50. Returned funds are not subject to income tax or penalties.

FSA holders: The refund goes back to your FSA plan via the original card. If your plan year has ended, the use-it-or-lose-it rule may apply. FSA holders should be especially sure of their purchase before buying.

Processing fees: HSA/FSA payments are processed by card and carry the same non-refundable processing fee described above.

Damage Claims

If your order arrives damaged, we will resolve it as quickly as possible.

1. Inspect packaging for visible damage before signing.

2. Note damage on delivery receipt — write "damaged" and have the driver sign.

3. Take photos of packaging and product damage.

4. Email photos to info@thesaunarepublic.com with your order number within 24 hours.

Description

Celsium Jonas Classic: A Four-Person Outdoor Sauna in ThermoWood® and Glass

The Celsium Jonas Classic is a four-person outdoor sauna from Celsium's Jonas line, built on a square footprint with a ThermoWood® exterior, an aspen interior and a large bronze-tinted glass front that brings daylight and the view into every session. Handcrafted in Lithuania and fully insulated with PIR panels, it measures 85" W × 85" L × 98" H and arrives flat-packed for assembly on your own foundation. The heater is sold separately, so you can choose the right one for your site; Celsium specifies at least 9 kW.

Insulated to Hold Its Heat

Celsium insulates the walls, ceiling and floor with 5 cm (about 2") PIR insulation boards, a high-performance rigid insulation that helps the cabin hold its heat outdoors. An EPDM rubber roof covering provides long-lasting weather protection, and the ThermoWood® exterior is thermally modified timber, treated with heat and steam instead of chemicals for stability and resistance to moisture.

An Aspen Interior Built Around Finnish Bench Heights

Inside, aspen lines the walls and the benches. The Jonas Classic comes with Celsium's standard bench layout: two straight aspen benches, an upper and a lower tier, each 72.2" (1,835 mm) long, with seating for up to four. Celsium sets the bench heights to Finnish sauna standards, so heat reaches you evenly and your feet stay comfortably warm. An LED strip is included for soft indoor lighting and is installed on site.

Daylight Through Bronze-Tinted Glass

The front of the Jonas Classic is one large panel of bronze-tinted glass that covers most of the wall, and the full-height 8 mm tempered glass door sits next to it, in the left-hand side wall at the end nearest the glass. The bronze tint warms the view and softens glare, so the cabin feels open and bright during the day.

Five Exterior Colors

Choose the ThermoWood® exterior in Beige, Grey, Ebony, Teak or Hazel to suit your home and landscape. Every Celsium sauna is crafted from natural wood, so the final color and grain may vary slightly from the images.

Images are for illustration purposes only. The Jonas Classic comes with its full-height glass door on the left-hand side, and some photos show the door on the opposite side. The color renderings show each exterior finish, and other details in the images, such as the glass tint, interior wood, heater and lighting, may differ from the sauna you receive. The specifications on this page describe what's included.

Planning Your Installation

Plan for a solid, level foundation of at least 86.6" × 86.6" (2.2 × 2.2 m). The sauna ships flat-packed and is delivered securely on pallets, with Celsium's step-by-step installation guidelines. Delivery is curbside, with liftgate service available on request; moving the components from the curb to your site is up to you, and you can hire a local contractor for assembly. The heater must deliver at least 9 kW, and a licensed electrician connects it on a dedicated circuit sized to the model you choose. Our specialists pair the heater, control and stones with your cabin and your electrical service. The heater and wall control shown in the photos are sold separately.

Complete Your Wellness Space

For hot-and-cold contrast sessions, pair the Jonas Classic with one of our cold plunges, and add robes and towels for the walk between them. Ask your specialist about bundled pricing.

Celsium, a member of Sauna from Finland, the North American Sauna Society and the Australian Sauna Association, backs the Jonas Classic with a 5-year warranty on the structure and a 2-year warranty on all other parts, and as an authorized dealer we handle warranty support with you directly.

HSA/FSA: Everything You Need to Know

Answers based on IRS guidance, Truemed documentation, and real-world HSA/FSA administrator practices.

Eligibility & Qualification
How do I know if I qualify to use HSA/FSA?
Eligibility is determined on a per-customer basis, not by product. When you select the HSA/FSA option on your invoice, you'll complete a short health assessment through Truemed. An independent licensed practitioner reviews your responses and, if your health situation qualifies, issues a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). Not every customer will qualify — the practitioner makes the final determination based on clinical criteria. If you don't qualify, you can still purchase using standard payment methods.
What health conditions typically qualify?
Common qualifying conditions include chronic pain, arthritis, cardiovascular concerns, muscle recovery needs, stress/anxiety management, sleep disorders, chronic inflammation, and metabolic conditions. The key requirement under IRS rules is that the purchase must be primarily for treating, preventing, or mitigating a specific diagnosed medical condition. General wellness, relaxation, or athletic performance goals do not qualify. The licensed practitioner makes the final determination based on your individual health assessment.
What products are eligible for HSA/FSA?
Truemed reviews and approves individual products through its compliance team. If a product is eligible, the "Pay with HSA/FSA" option will appear on your invoice automatically — you don't need to request it. If the option isn't showing on your invoice, that product hasn't been approved. Eligibility can change as Truemed reviews new products, so ask us if an item you're interested in isn't currently showing the HSA/FSA option.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds on accessories or other products beyond a sauna?
Your Letter of Medical Necessity can cover multiple products and product categories. If the Truemed HSA/FSA option appears on your invoice for a product, it has been reviewed and approved by Truemed's compliance team. The same process applies to all eligible products — select "Pay with HSA/FSA" on the invoice and complete the health assessment.
How to Pay
Can I use my HSA debit card directly?
Yes. HSA debit cards work at most merchant categories with minimal scrutiny at the point of sale. Your HSA administrator processes the charge like any debit transaction — they see the merchant name and total amount, but not individual line items. Select "Pay with HSA/FSA" on your invoice and enter your HSA card details. Keep your Letter of Medical Necessity on file in case of an IRS audit.
Can I use my FSA debit card directly?
We recommend paying with a regular credit card and submitting for reimbursement instead. FSA cards frequently decline at non-medical merchant categories, and FSA administrators are required by law to substantiate every claim — unlike HSA administrators, they actively review whether each purchase qualifies. The most reliable process for FSA holders: pay your invoice with a regular credit card through the Truemed option, receive your LMN, then submit your receipt and LMN to your FSA administrator for reimbursement.
Can I split payment between HSA/FSA and a regular card?
Yes. Truemed supports split payments. You can pay part of the purchase with your HSA/FSA card and the remainder with a regular credit or debit card. You can also pay the full amount with a credit card and submit for partial reimbursement — for example, reimburse $3,400 from your FSA and pay the rest out of pocket. This is especially useful when your account balance is lower than the product price.
How does the reimbursement process work?
If you pay with a regular credit or debit card: select the Truemed option on your invoice, complete the health survey, receive your Letter of Medical Necessity (usually within 24-48 hours), then submit your purchase receipt along with the LMN to your HSA/FSA administrator. Most administrators process claims within a few days. The specific steps and timeline vary by plan — check with your HR department or plan provider for their submission process.
HSA vs FSA: Key Differences
What's the difference between HSA and FSA for purchases?
HSA (Health Savings Account): You own the account. Funds roll over year to year and never expire. Requires a high-deductible health plan. HSA administrators generally do not review individual purchases at the point of sale — the account holder is responsible for ensuring expenses qualify. In an IRS audit, you'd need to produce your LMN and purchase records.

FSA (Flexible Spending Account): Your employer sponsors the account. Funds typically expire at the end of the plan year, though some plans allow a small carryover or grace period. FSA administrators must substantiate every claim and actively review whether purchases qualify. This makes FSA claims more likely to be scrutinized.

Bottom line: HSA is generally smoother for high-ticket purchases. FSA works but requires more careful documentation and the reimbursement pathway is safer than direct card use.
What are the 2026 HSA and FSA contribution limits?
HSA: $4,400 individual, $8,750 family, plus $1,000 catch-up if 55+. HSA funds roll over indefinitely.

FSA: $3,400 per year. Most FSA plans follow a use-it-or-lose-it rule — some allow a $640 carryover or a 2.5-month grace period.

If your purchase exceeds your available balance, you can split payment or pay with a credit card and submit for partial reimbursement.
My FSA funds expire soon — can I still use them?
Yes, and this is one of the smartest uses of expiring FSA dollars. If you have unused FSA funds approaching your plan year deadline, purchasing an eligible product puts those pre-tax dollars to work rather than forfeiting them. Check your plan's exact expiration date with your HR department. For next year, open enrollment is typically October through November — you can increase your FSA election if you're planning a larger purchase.
After Your Purchase
What is the return policy for HSA/FSA purchases?
Our standard return policy applies to all HSA/FSA purchases — there is no "final sale" restriction. No IRS rule requires HSA/FSA purchases to be final sale. If you need to return a product, the refund is processed back to your original HSA/FSA card within 3-10 business days.

For HSA holders returning a product: Once the refund hits your HSA, the original purchase is no longer a qualified medical expense. You can notify your HSA custodian to treat it as a "mistaken distribution" under IRS Notice 2004-50. Funds returned this way are not subject to income tax or the 20% penalty, and they don't count against your annual contribution limit. The deadline to report this is April 15 following the year you learned of the return. Most HSA custodians accept mistaken distributions, though they are not required to.

For FSA holders returning a product: The refund goes back to your FSA plan via the original card. If your plan year has already ended, the use-it-or-lose-it rule may apply — returned funds could be forfeited to the employer plan rather than credited back to you. FSA holders should be especially sure of their purchase before buying.

Our team is available before and after purchase to help you choose the right product.
What happens if my claim is denied by my plan administrator?
A claim denial does not affect your purchase with Sauna Republic. You already own the product and we already have your payment. The denial is a matter between you and your HSA/FSA plan — it does not create a reversal or chargeback against your order.

Step 1 — Contact Truemed. Email support@truemed.com with your denial notice, the reason given, and any codes provided. Truemed's team will work with their Medical Group to rewrite your LMN to meet your administrator's specific requirements. Truemed reports overturning the majority of denied claims through this process.

Step 2 — Resubmit. Submit the updated LMN to your administrator.

If the appeal fails: Truemed's Terms of Service include a discretionary provision where they may offer approximately 30% of the purchase price to offset your lost tax savings. This is Truemed's payment to you directly — it is not charged to or deducted from your order. This payment is at Truemed's sole discretion and is not guaranteed.

Common denial reasons: Missing or incomplete LMN, LMN dated after the purchase, an invoice mixing eligible and ineligible items, or the administrator requiring a specific form.
What if my administrator asks me to repay my HSA/FSA?
This can happen if your administrator determines the purchase was not a qualified medical expense after the transaction has already processed. The administrator asks you (the account holder) to repay the plan — this does not affect the merchant or your product order.

For HSA: If you repay the amount, your HSA custodian may process it as a return of a mistaken distribution. You would not owe income tax or the 20% penalty on the repaid amount.

For FSA: Your employer or TPA will typically deduct the amount from future paychecks or require direct repayment. FSA administrators have strong enforcement incentives because the employer's entire cafeteria plan could lose its tax-favored status if it reimburses non-qualified expenses.

We recommend working through the Truemed appeal process first — most denied claims can be resolved with an updated LMN before repayment becomes necessary.
Can I use my LMN for future purchases?
Yes. Your Letter of Medical Necessity is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. During that period, you do not need to complete the health survey again for additional eligible purchases. You still need to submit each new receipt to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement. After 12 months, you would need a new health assessment through Truemed.
What if my HSA/FSA account is closed after my purchase?
If you need a refund and your HSA/FSA account has been closed, the refund still posts to that account. You'll need to work directly with your former plan administrator to retrieve the funds — Truemed cannot redirect refunds to a different payment method. This is a compliance requirement enforced by both IRS rules and the payment processor. Confirm your account is in good standing before purchasing.
Tax & IRS Considerations
What happens if the IRS audits my HSA/FSA purchase?
In an audit, you would need to demonstrate that the expense was a qualified medical expense. Your key documentation: (1) your Letter of Medical Necessity, (2) your purchase receipt, and (3) any correspondence with your HSA/FSA administrator. Keep these records for at least 3 years from your tax return filing date.

For HSA purchases, the account holder bears full responsibility for ensuring expenses qualify — HSA administrators do not police purchases. For FSA purchases, your administrator has already substantiated the claim, which provides additional documentation.

The audit risk is on the account holder, not the merchant. Sauna Republic has no IRS reporting obligations related to your HSA/FSA payment.
What are the penalties for a non-qualified HSA distribution?
If an HSA distribution is determined not to be a qualified medical expense, the account holder owes income tax on the full amount plus a 20% additional tax penalty. For example, on an $8,000 non-qualified distribution at a 30% marginal rate, you would owe approximately $2,400 in income tax plus a $1,600 penalty — roughly $4,000 total. This underscores the importance of having a legitimate medical condition and a properly issued LMN. The 20% penalty does not apply if you are 65 or older, disabled, or if the distribution is returned as a mistaken distribution before the filing deadline.
Has the IRS said anything about using HSA/FSA for wellness equipment?
In March 2024, the IRS issued an alert (IR-2024-65) reminding taxpayers that general health and wellness expenses do not qualify for HSA/FSA unless prescribed to treat a specific diagnosed condition. The IRS cautioned that documentation based solely on self-reported health information may not meet legal requirements. No enforcement actions against consumers or merchants have been publicly reported, but the alert signals increased scrutiny.

This is why Truemed's health assessment involves a licensed practitioner making a clinical determination — not a rubber-stamp process. We encourage customers to be thorough and honest in the health assessment.
General Questions
How long does the Truemed approval process take?
Most health assessments are reviewed within 24-48 hours. Once approved, you'll receive your LMN via email and your order processes immediately. If you don't see it in your inbox, check spam, then contact support@truemed.com.
What if I don't qualify for an LMN?
You can still purchase any product using standard payment methods — credit card, debit card, Shop Pay, or financing options. Not qualifying for HSA/FSA does not prevent you from buying. You may reapply at a later date if your health circumstances change.
Are there any fees for using Truemed?
There is no additional fee charged to you. The cost of the health assessment and LMN is included in the transaction. You pay the same product price whether you use HSA/FSA funds or a regular payment method.
Can I still get complimentary shipping with HSA/FSA?
Yes. Complimentary shipping and standard Sauna Republic promotions apply regardless of payment method. HSA/FSA customers receive the same benefits as every other customer. Note that promotional offers vary by brand — some manufacturers restrict bundled promotions on their products.
