Maximizing your dollars

To help you reach your well-being goals and get the most from your health care dollars, we provide a number of savings benefits – ranging from tax-advantaged accounts to discount programs.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

An FSA is a tax-advantaged account which lets you put aside pre-tax dollars for a wide range of eligible expenses for you and your family. You choose how much you’d like to contribute during enrollment and a portion of your election is deducted on a pre-tax basis from each paycheck.

These accounts may sound similar to an HSA, but they have different rules – for example, the money you contribute doesn’t rollover from year to year.
