A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a special account you contribute to for certain out-of-pocket health care costs. Your money is deposited pre-tax. This means you’ll save an amount equal to the taxes you would have paid on the money you set aside. You can use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for copayments, deductibles, some prescriptions and for some other health care costs. There are also dependent care options available through our provider. Please see the flyer.
