The More You Know About Flexible Spending Accounts
The MORE You Save!
What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a benefit program that enables pre-tax dollars to be used
to pay for eligible health care expenses.
FSAs can be used for expenses like:•Covered prescription co-pays •Coinsurance
•Doctor and emergency room co-pays•Orthodontics
•Health plan deductibles and coinsurance •Lasik surgery
•Out-of-pocket dentist or other provider fees•Eyeglasses
Here’s an example of how you can save:
The average family of four in the U. S. can expect to pay close to $1,600 on expenses like office visits, prescription co-pays, dental work and new glasses -- or an unexpected hospital stay.
Out-Of-Pocket Expenses U. S. AveragesDoctor Visits & Hospital co-pays $1,008Prescription Drug co-pays $168Dental $374Vision $50TOTAL: $1,600
If that $1,600 were put into an FSA pre-tax, the family could have saved over $400.
