# Reimbursement

> Learn how to set up reimbursement integrations where consumers receive a Letter of Medical Necessity to file for reimbursement.

In a reimbursement integration, the consumer would fill out the intake form and if a consumer qualifies they will receive a Letter of Medical Necessity for their records to file for reimbursement.

<Note>
  Reimbursement is part of the functionality we offer to select merchants. If you want access to this feature, contact Flex Support.
</Note>

## Getting started

Generate a checkout session of type reimbursement with the items that you would like a consumer to reimburse for.

```bash theme={null}
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.withflex.com/v1/checkout/sessions \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer <flex_api_key>' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"checkout_session": {"line_items": [{"product": "fprod_01jgjwnxashqsj0t7s7fey7jak"}],"success_url": "https://example.com/thank-you?success=true","mode": "reimbursement","cancel_url": "https://example.com/thank-you?canceled=true"}}'
```

## The consultation object

```json theme={null}
{
  "consultation_id": "fcons_2c963f66afa6",
  "consultation_type": "fitness",

  "created_at": "2025-01-23T14:00:00Z",

}
```
