A health flexible spending account (FSA) is a benefit plan that lets you save 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.
Calculate your potential savings by using the new Health FSA Calculator Tool (look for the link under Forms & Tools on the main Health Flexible Spending page).

For more information about the health FSA, call the FSA Customer Care Center at 1-888-298-9754.

Be advised that you must enroll in your FSA every year. FSA enrollment is not automatic.

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. Look for more information in the future that explains how your debit card may help you manage your out of pocket expenses.
