A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows you to be reimbursed using pre-tax savings for out-of-pocket medical expenses that you incur for yourself or your covered dependents. These expenses can include the costs of medical, dental or vision products or services, or certain prescription drugs, as eligible.
