Quick Reference

Generally, expenses for items used for general health, wellness, or relaxation are not considered qualified medical expenses by the IRS. However, if a massage gun is used primarily to alleviate or treat a specific medical condition diagnosed by a medical professional, it may be eligible.

When It Qualifies

  • If used to treat a specific medical condition, a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) or prescription from a licensed medical professional may be required by your plan administrator.

When It Doesn't

  • Use for general muscle soreness, athletic recovery, relaxation, or overall wellness without a specific diagnosed medical condition is not eligible.
