What is a Hot Tub, Swim Spa, Cold Plunge or Sauna Prescription?
A Hot Tub Prescription, Swim Spa Prescription, Cold Plunge Tub Prescription or Sauna Prescription is a document that serves as proof of one’s need for a hot tub, swim spa or sauna as a form of treatment for a qualifying health condition, as determined by a licensed clinician. This prescription can allow an individual to purchase a hot tub, swim spa or sauna for medical reasons without the burden of paying sales tax (applicable in Florida and Texas), and for getting an approval from an HOA (homeowner’s association) and/or city/county permitting offices (in Florida, Texas, Oregon, Washington, California, Indiana and Illinois), making wellness more accessible and affordable. Our clinicians have experience prescribing hot tubs, swim spas and saunas and are familiar with their various potential therapeutic benefits. They will review your answers to the questionnaire and determine if a hot tub, swim spa or sauna would be medically beneficial to you. If your Hot Tub Prescription, Swim Spa Prescription or Sauna Prescription is not approved, we will refund 100% of your payment.
How Does It Work?
Short Questionnaire: Clients fill out a short medical questionnaire, answering questions that may help our clinicians determine if a hot tub, swim spa or sauna would be medically beneficial to them.
Prescription: If the clinician deems a hot tub, swim spa, cold plunge tub or sauna medically necessary for a client, the clinician will issue and mail two physical, wet-signed originals of their prescription: One sent to their home and one sent to the store of their choice.
Tax Exemption and HOA+Permitting Office Approval: This prescription letter enables the client to purchase these items in Florida and Texas without paying sales tax, which can range from savings of approximately between $400 to $3,500, depending on the price of the hot tub, swim spa or sauna. This prescription also assists you in getting an approval from your HOA (homeowner’s association) and/or city/county permitting offices (in Florida, Texas, Oregon, Washington, California, Indiana and Illinois), making wellness more accessible and affordable.

Alex P. Brandenton FL
“The hot tub store took off $700 sales tax!”
I went to a hot tub store and the store told me that I could save $700 on sales tax if I had a prescription from my doctor for my back pain. I tried two telehealth visits and both of the doctors did not work with those types of prescriptions. Then I tried going to a doctor’s office but the wait was three weeks for a visit and I wasn’t sure if they’d give me a prescription anyway. Then I searched on Google for a hot tub prescription and found this website. I literally had my prescription within 12 hours of filling it out. The hot tub store was impressed with it and took off the $700 sales tax. I would have felt bad paying sales tax on my hot tub since I literally use it every night and it really helps my back and neck a million

“Thank you!”
Wow, thanks for saving me over $750 on my new spa purchase. Website was so easy to use. I Got my prescription in less than 10 mins. The spa dealer I was buying my new spa from took it with no issues and I got the sales tax waived. Great service!
