Pines Health Services offers access to participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This plan allows you to make contributions towards your benefits with pre-tax dollars. These dollars are not subject to FICA, federal or state income taxes. With an FSA, you elect to have your annual contribution deducted from your paycheck in equal installments throughout the year. The amount of your pay that goes into an FSA will not count as taxable income, so by participating, you are actually increasing your take home pay! FSA dollars can be used during the plan year to pay for qualified expenses and services. A Medical FSA allows reimbursement of qualifying out-of-pocket medical expenses. A Dependent Care FSA allows reimbursement of dependent care expenses, such as daycare, incurred by eligible dependents.
