The four FSA types

  • A medical FSA, which covers eligible medical, dental, vision, and preventative care expenses.
  • A limited medical FSA, which covers eligible dental, vision, and preventative care expenses.
  • A combination FSA (often called a post-deductible FSA), which is a limited FSA that converts into a medical FSA once the IRS deductible is met.
  • A dependent care FSA, which covers eligible daycare (up to age 13) and dependent care expenses if certain conditions are met.
