Reimbursement Accounts (Flexible Spending Accounts)
Employees may set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for certain out-of-pocket medical care and dependent care expenses. Employees may choose how much to contribute to the accounts, up to the maximum under the plan, which is deducted from the employee's paycheck before taxes are taken out. When an individual incurs an expense that qualifies for reimbursement, he/she pays the bill and is then reimbursed with tax-free money from his/her own reimbursement account. (You may purchase a debit card for a small monthly fee and use each time you incur a qualified health care expense at a health care location that accepts MasterCard).
