A Flexible Spending Account is an employer-sponsored benefit that allows you to pay for certain non-covered medical expenses (such as doctor's office co-pays and prescription drugs) with your pre-tax income. Because this benefit uses pre-tax dollars, a Flexible Spending Account is a great way for you to save money on your healthcare costs, as well as increase your take home pay! Your employer also offers a Dependent Care spending account, which can be used to pay day care expenses for eliglibe children and/or elderly dependents.
