Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
The FSA allows you to budget and save for qualified medical expenses incurred over the course of the plan year.  Dollars invested in an FSA are tax-free.  There are three types of FSA plans:

1. The Medical FSA covers eligible medical, dental and vision out of pocket expenses.
2. The Limited FSA allows a HDHP participant to maximize savings alongside their HDHP HSA plan. These funds can be used for qualifying dental and vision expenses as the HSA is used for medical expenses. 
3. The Dependent Care Account (DCA) allows you to put money aside for dependent care for children up to age 13, a disabled dependent of any age or a disabled spouse.
