Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts are types of accounts that let you set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses or dependent care. By using pre-tax dollars to pay for dependent care or deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance, and other expenses, you can lower your overall health care costs. Appriss partners with WEX Benefits to provide our employees with accounts.
