LPFSA Guide
Save more on dental and vision expenses
An LPFSA empowers you to maximize tax savings for dental and vision expenses. Plan your spending, know the rules and unlock amazing tax savings.
What is a Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account
Expect Remarkable
A Limited Purpose FSA (LPFSA) works like a standard FSA but is restricted to dental and vision expenses. It pairs perfectly with an HSA — preserving your HSA for medical expenses while your LPFSA covers dental and vision.
How do I sign up?
Enroll during open enrollment. Only available if you are also enrolled in an HSA-compatible health plan.
Plan your spending
Pay for dental, vision and more
Cover eye exams, glasses, contacts, dental cleanings, fillings, orthodontia, and other eligible expenses.
Complement your HSA
Pair your LPFSA with your HSA to maximize tax savings. Use LPFSA for dental/vision so your HSA grows for medical and retirement.
