What is a Health FSA?

A health flexible spending account (FSA) is a benefit plan that lets you save money by putting pre-tax money aside in a special account to help pay for certain medical costs and other health services. This means you can save on what you pay in your annual income taxes. Learn more about the Health FSA features and benefits.

New for 2014 - Health FSA Debit Card

When you enroll in the health FSA for 2014, you will be able to use a special debit card to easily pay for eligible FSA expenses. The debit card is connected to your flexible spending account so there’s no need to write checks or submit claim forms.  Look for more information in the future that explains how your debit card may help you manage your out of pocket expenses.
