The new collaboration reduces wait times for individuals who need care and delivers savings for millions of people who are enrolled in tax-free FSAs and HSAs
Health-E Commerce, the parent brand to FSA and HSA Store, the first and leading online stores that sell only products and telehealth services that are eligible for flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) use, announced a new collaboration that makes virtual mental health and dermatology care from Sesame available on FSA Store and HSA Store. Sesame is the company that offers Americans quality, convenient health care at half the typical price, making it ideal for cash-pay patients and a great solution for those with FSAs or HSAs.

The collaboration expands Health-E Commerce’s footprint in guaranteed-eligible telehealth services, empowering consumers to invest their tax-free healthcare funds in personalized treatment for holistic mental health and dermatology needs.
“It can take weeks or even months to get an appointment with a specialist, such as a dermatologist or mental health provider, due to continued healthcare provider shortages, but the growth in telehealth can alleviate this problem in many practice areas,” said Keri Kaiser, chief revenue officer for Health-E Commerce. “Our new collaboration with Sesame delivers on our mission to give consumers as many options as possible to address their unique health needs in a timely, cost-effective manner.”

As a result of this collaboration, individuals and families who are enrolled in an FSA or HSA can access affordable treatment from thousands of licensed Sesame providers covering all 50 United States. Dermatology services include custom treatment plans and prescriptions for conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea, all starting at $59 a month. Mental health services provide unlimited messaging and video visits with a dedicated and qualified provider for only $79 a month. Most Sesame services are eligible to be used with FSA and HSA funds and allow individuals to skip lengthy prior authorization processes and even longer wait times that come with traditional, in-person care.
This launch comes at a time when consumer demand for flexible, affordable care has never been higher. Sesame leverages classic marketplace dynamics to reshape healthcare delivery by requiring clinicians to compete on quality, accessibility and price. Virtual consultations lead to convenience and privacy for patients, allowing them to access care from anywhere, at any time. As most Americans continue to seek smarter and more affordable ways to manage their health and budgets, Sesame’s easy-to-use platform removes barriers and expands possibilities for proactive management of individualized healthcare needs.
“The marketplace effect of Sesame has very tangible benefits. Simply stated, when clinicians compete, patients win,” said Michael DiLorenzo, Sesame’s chief marketing officer. “By working with Health-E Commerce, Sesame is extending access to millions of individuals and families who are covered by FSAs and HSAs, and helping them put their tax-free health dollars to work in ways that matter most to them.”
