What is a Flexible Spending Account?

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-free account that allows you to pay for essential health care expenses that are not covered, or are partially covered, by your medical, dental and vision insurance plans; or pay for child/dependent care expenses. You save money to pay for your out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, including prescription drug costs, medical, dental, vision and hearing expenses and/or your child or dependent care expenses, including day care, and before- and after-school care expenses.

For more information, please view the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) employee guide.
