HSA + FSA = Limited Purpose FSA
Our flexible solution gives employers and their employees smart account combinations that help maximize tax savings for health expenses. Our Health Savings Account (HSA) paired with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) offers superior account technology and a focus on providing a solution customized to meet your company’s unique needs.
When paired with an HSA, FSAs are limited in use to dental and vision expenses only. We call these accounts Limited Purpose FSAs, or LPFSAs. These accounts allow employees to maximize tax savings while preserving their HSA balances for growth. Our robust rules engine ensures the right account pays for the right expenses at the right time, while providing employers maximum flexibility.
ConnectYourCare Limited Purpose FSA plan customization options include:
HSA On Demand®
FSA rollover amounts
FSA run-in and run-out
FSA grace period administration
LPFSA may remain limited purpose throughout the plan year, or may cover all 213(d) expenses once deductible is met. Here’s how the post-deductible option works:
Before Deductible is Met: Before the medical plan deductible is met, the LPFSA covers only eligible dental and vision expenses. When the participant submits dental or vision claims online, by using the mobile app, or by using the payment card, these expenses are deducted from the LP. All other eligible expenses deduct from the HSA.
After Deductible is Met: Once the medical plan deductible is met, the LPFSA becomes a full Health Care FSA, covering all eligible medical, dental, vision and prescription expenses. All eligible online, mobile, and payment card claims are deducted from the FSA until it is depleted.
How It Works
Both HSAs and FSAs are great for tax savings. When these accounts are paired, the FSA is limited to dental and vision expenses. But since the HSA also covers dental and vision, you may be asking yourself, “Why would I want both accounts?”
