What Is a Limited Purpose FSA?

A dedicated account for vision and dental expenses

A limited purpose flexible savings account, or LPFSA, is available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan as well as an HSA. Establishing an LPFSA can save you money on taxes by using your LPFSA dollars for your dental and vision expenses while preserving your HSA funds for other purposes, including saving those funds for the future.

  • Save an average of 30% on qualified dental and vision expenses by using pre-tax dollars
  • Maximize your tax savings by enrolling in both an HSA and LPFSA
  • Great for big ticket expenses like LASIK and braces
  • Your full election amount is available on Day 1 of the plan year — like an interest-free, tax-free loan
  • Like standard FSAs, LPFSA funds operate on a “use it or lose it” basis, so it’s important to plan accordingly
