Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account
A Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged account designed to work with your Health Savings Account (HSA). It allows you to use pre-tax funds to pay for eligible dental and vision expenses, as well as medical expenses that exceed your deductible. This means the money you contribute reduces your taxable income, and the funds come out tax-free when you use them for eligible expenses.
Iron Mountain FSAs are administered by Fidelity.
Tax advantages described here are for federal income tax purposes only. State income tax treatment of contributions and earnings may vary. Check with your tax advisor for more information.

How it works
Here’s how you can use a Limited Purpose Health Care FSA.
Contribute
During Open Enrollment, you can elect your annual contribution amount, up to a maximum of $3,300. This amount is deducted from your paycheck in equal pre-tax installments. Remember, you can only change your contribution amount during the year if you have a qualifying life event.
Pay
Use your Fidelity debit card to pay for eligible dental, vision, and qualified medical expenses that exceed your deductible. Always keep your itemized receipts and Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) statements, as they are required for IRS verification.
Spend
