A health FSA is a benefit plan that lets you save money by putting pre-tax wages 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.
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 is no need to write checks or submit claim forms.
