Personal Health Investment Today Act (HR 2105)

The Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) legislation encourages increased physical activity by easing the financial burden of being physically active. The bill rewrites the definition of a medical expense in the IRS code to allow for reimbursement of physical activity expenses as an acceptable expense for already existing pre-tax accounts such as Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA's). Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) are excluded. Eligible activities will include but are not limited to:

  • Youth & Adult Sports League Fees
  • Public and Private Health Club Membership Dues
  • Exercise Classes & Personal Trainers
  • Sports & Fitness Equipment (used exclusively for participation in physical activities)
  • Youth Camps
  • Organized Running Event Registration Fees
  • Martial Arts, Gymnastics & other physical activities
