What is an FSA?
A Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) is an account that allows you to set aside funds from each paycheck before taxes are applied to use for qualifying healthcare expenses. You can use the funds for yourself, your spouse or state-registered domestic partner (SRDP), or dependent, even if they are not enrolled on your medical coverage.
What can I spend my FSA dollars on?
You can use your FSA to pay for health care costs that your insurance doesn’t cover like copays, deductibles, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, sunscreen, and more. To view a complete list of eligible expenses, visit sebb.naviabenefits.com/expenses.
