Flexible Spending Accounts
(FSA)
FSAs provide you with an important tax advantage that can help you pay health care and dependent
care expenses on a pre-tax basis. By anticipating your family’s health care and dependent care costs
for the next year, you can actually lower your taxable income.
Health Care Reimbursement FSA
This program allows employees pay for certain IRS-approved medical care expenses not covered by
their insurance plan with pre-tax dollars. Some examples include:

Hearing services, including hearing aids and batteries

Vision services, including contact lenses, contact lens solution, eye examinations, and
eyeglasses

Dental services and orthodontia

Chiropractic services

Acupuncture
Dependent Care FSA
The Dependent Care FSA allows employees use pre-tax dollars towards qualified dependent care
such as caring for children under the age 13 or caring for elders. The annual maximum amount you
may contribute to the Dependent Care FSA is $5,000 (or $2,500 if married and filing separately) per
calendar year. Examples include:

The cost of child or adult dependent care

The cost for an individual to provide care either in or out of your house

Nursery schools and preschools (excluding kindergarten)
Adoption Assistance
The Adoption Assistance Option provides reimbursement to you for the reasonable and necessary
expenses that you incur in the process of legally adopting an eligible child, including adoption fees,
court fees, court cost and attorney fees. The maximum amount of reimbursement that you may
receive in connection with the adoption of any one child is $13,170 (this will be adjusted for inflation
each year), based off of your adjusted gross income. This is a total one time amount per child.
Remember: Use it or Lose it Rule (Elect Carefully!)

Health Savings Account
(HSA)
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account that can be funded with your tax-exempt dollars, by
your employer, or both, to help pay for eligible medical expenses not covered by insurance plan,
including deductible, coinsurance and, in some cases, may be used to pay health insurance
premiums.
Who is eligible for an HSA?
Anyone who is:
 Covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP);

Not covered under another medical health plan that is not a High Deductible Health Plan;

Not entitled to Medicare benefits; and
Not eligible to be claimed on another person’s tax return
What is a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)?
A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is a plan with a minimum annual deductible and a maximum
out-of-pocket limit as listed below. These minimums and maximums are determined annually by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and are subject to change.
Type of
Coverage
Minimum Annual
Deductible
Individual
Family
$1,300
$2,600
Maximum
Annual Out of
Pocket
$6,550
$13,100
When do I use my HSA?
After visiting a physician, facility, or pharmacy your medical claim will be submitted to your HDHP for
payment. Your HSA dollars can be used to pay your out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles and
coinsurance) billed by the physician, facility, or pharmacy or you can choose to save your HSA dollars
for a future medical expense.
What is a deductible?
A deductible is a set dollar amount, determined by your plan, that you must pay, out-of-pocket or from
your HSA account, before insurance coverage for medical expenses can begin.
How much can I contribute to an HSA?
As noted by federal law for the 2013 calendar year, the annual contribution limits are equal to:

Health Savings Account
(HSA)
What is the difference between an HSA and Flexible Savings Account (FSA)?
 An HSA can roll-over unused funds from year to year.

An FSA cannot roll-over unused funds from year to year.

You cannot have an FSA for Medical if you have an HSA.
Why should I elect an HSA?
1. Cost Savings

Tax Benefits
o HSA Contributions are excluded from federal income tax
o Interest earnings are tax-deferred
o Withdrawals for eligible expenses are exempt from federal income tax

Reduction in medical plan contribution

Unused money is held in an interest-bearing savings or investment account
Note: Many states have not passed legislation to provide favorable state tax treatment for HSAs.
Therefore, amounts contributed to HSAs and interest earned on HSA accounts may be included on
the employee’s W-2 for state income tax purposes.
2. Long-Term Financial Benefits

Save for future medical expenses

Funds roll over year to year

This is your account, you take it with you
3. Choice

You control and manage your health care expenses.

You choose when to use your HSA dollars to pay your health care expenses.

You choose when to save your HSA dollars and pay health care expenses out of pocket.
