What you need to know
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is another tool to help you manage your health care and dependent care expenses. Your pretax contributions can be used to pay for eligible expenses, such as doctors’ visits, prescription drugs, child care, and more.
Note that HealthEquity is our new FSA administrator in 2024.
Two ways to save!
You have two FSA options: a Health Care FSA and Dependent Care FSA. You can enroll in one or enroll in both, depending on your needs.
It’s easy and convenient to submit FSA claims using the HealthEquity mobile app.

Health Care FSA
You can use your Health Care FSA to pay for eligible medical expenses, including deductibles, coinsurance amounts, copays, and other expenses that are described in IRS Publication 502 — Medical and Dental Expenses. Premiums for health and other insurance aren't eligible expenses.
You may also use your Health Care FSA to buy over-the-counter medications without a prescription, like Tylenol and other pain relievers, heartburn medications, allergy relief, and more.

Dependent Care FSA
You can use your Dependent Care FSA to pay for eligible expenses, including a babysitter or nanny to provide care while you’re at work, a day care provider or after-school care, and preschool tuition.
Expenses must be incurred for the care of eligible family members as described in IRS Publication 503 — Child and Dependent Care Expenses. You cannot use your Dependent Care FSA to pay for medical expenses, and all dependent care expenses must take place within the benefit plan year.
