Flexible Spending Accounts

Flexible Spending Accounts are proving more popular, and more valuable to members and employers in deferring health costs, than ever before.  Flexible Spending Accounts, or FSAs, allow employees to deduct money from their paychecks on a pre-tax basis.  These dollars can be used to cover co-pays, pay for prescription and over the counter medications, and pay co-insurance.  Coverage of additional qualified expenses such as orthodontia, eyeglasses, and even Lasik surgery may be covered utilizing FSA dollars. 

Meritain Health offers Flexible Spending Account options for all plan designs.
