Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account

• FSAFEDS offers a Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account (LEX HCFSA) for eligible employees in FEHB high deductible health plans (HDHP) with a health savings account (HSA).
• The Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account (LEX HCFSA) covers eligible dental and vision care expenses only.
• HDHP enrollees with an HSA are not eligible to enroll in general purpose health care flexible spending accounts (HCFSAs), according to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.
• However, those employees can have both an HSA and a limited expense HCFSA.
• SHPS, Inc. (the third party administrator for FSAFEDS) administers the LEX HCFSA accounts.
• To enroll in a LEX HCFSA (during the annual Federal Benefits Open Season or within 60 days after becoming a newly hired or newly eligible employee), go to www.FSAFEDS.com.
