• Submit a Claim: Follow your HSA provider's guidelines for submitting a claim for massage therapy expenses. Include all necessary documentation to support your claim.
• Wait for Reimbursement: Once your claim is processed, you should receive reimbursement for your eligible massage therapy expenses.
