From routine check-ups to unexpected emergencies, medical expenses and deductibles can quickly add up. Making those fun vacations a short-lived dream. Fortunately, tools are available to help ease the burden, one of which is the Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA). In this blog, we'll delve into what exactly a Medical FSA is, how it works, its benefits, and how you can take advantage of this valuable healthcare benefit.
A Medical FSA is a pre-tax benefit account that allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary to cover qualified medical expenses. These expenses can include co-payments, deductibles, prescriptions, and other healthcare-related costs not covered by insurance. The funds contributed to an FSA are deducted from the employee's paycheck before taxes, resulting in significant tax savings.
Employees elect to contribute a specific amount to their Medical FSA during their employer's open enrollment period. This amount is then deducted from their paycheck in equal installments throughout the year. The contributions are not subject to federal income tax, Social Security tax, or Medicare tax, providing immediate tax savings. Employees can use the funds in their FSA to pay for eligible medical expenses incurred by themselves, their spouses, and dependents.
Medical FSAs can be used to cover a variety of medical expenses, including but not limited to:
