Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
A cost-effective option to help meet your employees' health care and dependent care needs.
What is an FSA?
An FSA is a spending account that helps stretch employee dollars as well as reduce employees' payroll taxes because dollars allocated to FSAs don't count as income.1 Additional features of an FSA from Cigna Healthcare℠* include the following:
- Employee-owned account.
- All health plans are eligible.
- Pre-determined, pre-tax1 contributions are made by the employee. (Employees can contribute up to the IRS limit each year. Employers can also contribute funds.)
- Option to offer an HRA in addition to the FSA.
- Option to allow participants to carry over up to $610 of unused funds at end of plan year.
- Option to offer two types of debit cards – health care debit card can be used for immediate access to funds.
- Automatic claim forwarding option to pay health care providers directly from the FSA.
Types of FSA Plans
You may offer your employees three types of FSAs:
Health Care FSA
Reimburses employees for eligible health care expenses, including prescriptions, vision, and dental expenses.
Dependent Care FSA
Reimburses employees for dependent child care expenses as well as care for elderly, disabled, or handicapped family members.
Limited Purpose FSA
