General rule: FSA and HSA together

If you are wondering whether you can join an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) while being enrolled in an HSA (Health Savings Account) through Navia, the short answer is - it depends on the specific rules of your employer's benefits plan.

Typically, you cannot have both an FSA and an HSA at the same time, as they both offer tax advantages for medical expenses, and the IRS prohibits double-dipping in these benefits. However, there are exceptions and different scenarios where you might be able to utilize both accounts.

Points to consider from your plan

Here are some points to consider:

• Check with your HR department or benefits administrator to understand the details of your specific plan.
• Some employers offer a limited-purpose FSA that can be used in conjunction with an HSA for specific expenses like dental and vision care.
• If you have a spouse who has an FSA, you might be able to be covered under their plan while still contributing to your HSA.
• It's crucial to understand the rules and maximize the benefits of both accounts without violating any regulations.

Review your circumstances with provider

Remember to assess your individual circumstances and seek guidance from your benefits provider to make informed decisions about your healthcare savings options.
