    • There are a few strategies available, such as using your HSA (Health Savings Account). Many employers offer this high-deductible insurance plan, which allows you to deduct tax-free funds from your paycheck to this card, which can be used for any health-related services.

    • Another strategy is forgoing traditional insurance entirely and
      choosing a health sharing membership that includes a weight loss
      program. Expenses related to weight reduction are considered pre-
      membership medical conditions and are subject to the sharing phase-

      membership to obtain up to $3000 reimbursement for any weight
      reduction treatment recommended by a licensed provider. You can view our partner Zion HealthShare’s current member guidelines here: Download April 2025 Member Guidelines – Zion HealthShare Member Toolbox.
