FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA)
A healthcare FSA lets you use tax-free money to pay for eligible medical expenses.1 FSAs help members realize significant savings on healthcare costs. Don’t think of it as money deducted from your paycheck—think of it as money added to your wallet. The plan year for the FSAs runs January 1st to December 31st.
For added convenience, we have a “Benny” card – a debit type card you can use at time of service and avoid filing claims or submitting receipts in many cases.
