According to the CDC, in the US, the percentage of adults using telemedicine services in 2021 was 37%, with slightly more females (42%) using telemedicine than males (31.7%). Statista reports that as of 2021, 88% of Americans preferred to use telemedicine after COVID-19.

BODi users with an HSA or FSA account can go through an online medical consultation with Dr. B to determine whether they qualify for a Letter of Medical Necessity, which would allow for BODi’s fitness expenses to be eligible for reimbursement from their pre-tax HSA/FSA funds. Qualifying members may receive reimbursement covering up to the entire cost of their BODi fitness solutions.

By not requiring an on-site visit to a doctor, the partnership saves time and money for those who qualify. BODi subscribers can visit the Dr. B (hidrb.com) website, complete an online medical consultation in just minutes, receive a Letter of Medical Necessity (if qualified), and submit the letter with BODi receipts to their HSA or FSA administrator for reimbursement.

“For over 25 years our mission at BODi has been to help people lead healthy and fulfilling lives,” says Carl Daikeler, BODi’s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The barrier of time and money is real for many who would benefit from the tools on the BODi platform. We believe our partnership with Dr. B will remove these barriers that prevent many from getting started and this unique combination of financial and fitness solutions will help even more people improve their lives and build healthy habits.”

“Current trends indicate that the future of fitness lies in companies that double down on programs that encourage whole-body health and longevity,” says Cyrus Massoumi, founder and CEO of Dr. B. “That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with BODi. They offer our patients integrated fitness, nutrition and mindset programs to help them succeed through every step along their journey. The more Dr. B can help individuals invest in BODi’s health esteem mindset, the better for all of us.”

BODi offers a broad range of innovative and effective fitness, nutrition and mindset programs developed and tested by world-class scientists, trainers and nutrition experts. Accessible by subscription or via a newly launched standalone option, BODi offers a holistic solution to achieve healthy results.

Dr. B’s $15 online consultations are available to those 18 and older in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. Providers review consultations 365 days a year – weekends and holidays included.
