Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Accounts (LPFSA) are tax-advantaged accounts that let you, your spouse, and eligible dependents use pre-tax money to pay for eligible dental and vision expenses. You can pair an LPFSA with a Health Savings Account to take your health savings even further.
Although it’s called a “Limited Purpose” Flexible Spending Account, there are plenty of ways to use your LPFSA on eligible dental and vision expenses.
Here are 10 of our favorites.
