Funds In An HSA, FSA Cover Most Dental Expenses.

In an article discussing the difference between a health savings account (HSA) and a flexible spending account (FSA), Investopedia (11/30, Wohlner) states that an “HSA can only be offered in conjunction with a high-deductible health insurance plan,” and funds from an HSA account can be used for most dental expenses. Similar to an HSA account, “the FSA allows for pre-tax contributions to be deferred from your salary and these funds can be used to pay for qualified medical and dental expenses.” According to the article, the primary difference between the two accounts is that unused funds in an FSA do not roll over to the next plan year.
