Healthcare Spending Accounts 2023
Healthcare Spending Accounts help you save pre-tax dollars to pay for medical, dental, and vision out of pocket expenses. Another advantage of having a flexible spending account is that it can be used for yourself, your spouse, or any other eligible dependents, even if they are not covered by your health plan. There are three healthcare spending accounts that are designated tax-free through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for qualified health plans:
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA)
- Health Savings Account (HSA)
You cannot be enrolled in both the FSA and HSA (HSA must be paired with a High Deductible Health Plan HSA1500), so it is important to evaluate the plans and decide which is best for you.
If you need a replacement card for FSA and DCFSA, please contact Flexible Benefit Administrators: 757-340-4567.
If you need a replacement card for HSA, please contact Health Equity: 866-346-5800.
