Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account

Limited Expense Health Care Flexible Spending Account

(LEX HCFSA)

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).  Under IRS rules, federal employees enrolled in high deductible health plans (HDHP) with health savings accounts (HSA) are unable to have a healthcare flexible spending account.  However, they are able to enroll in a limited expense health care flexible spending account (LEX HCFSA) to help cover their eligible dental and vision care expenses. .

WageWorks, 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.
