How it works

Contribute
Elect your contribution amount annually during Open Enrollment. You can only make changes during the year if you experience a qualifying life event.
You can contribute up to $3,200. The money will be deducted from your paychecks in equal amounts throughout the year before taxes are calculated. Your eligible expenses must be incurred by December 31.
Pay
Use your Fidelity debit card to pay for dental and vision expenses, and eligible medical expenses that exceed your deductible.
Remember to save any itemized receipts or Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) statements to verify your claims as required by the IRS.
Spend
Funds can be used only for eligible health care expenses incurred by March 15, but you must submit claims to Fidelity by the dates noted below. If you don’t incur expenses and submit them for reimbursement per the deadlines outlined below, you’ll forfeit your balances.
