What is MedFit Care?
MedFit Care is a telehealth company offering medically necessary exercise prescriptions for consumers and patients nationwide.

With your prescription in hand, you are now able to use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), or your own funds as a medical expense tax deduction, to pay for the services of a qualified medical fitness specialist.
