FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT

​

What is a Healthcare Reimbursement Account?
Flexible Spending Accounts are a pre-tax benefit account that pays for eligible expenses not covered by insurance, including:
•Medical expenses
•Dental expenses
•Vision expenses
 

These accounts offer a smart, simple way to save money and keep you and your family healthy and protected. Your employer sponsors this program, to help you save on important health and dependent daycare expenses by using pre-tax dollars.

​

You can save an average of 30% on everyday eligible, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. There are several easy payment and reimbursement options. You can access your full election amount starting on day one! Your employer might also offer a grace period or carry over option at the end of your Plan Year.
