A Flexible Spending Plan allows participating employees to deduct money from their pay on a pre-tax basis and use it to pay for their group insurance premiums and fund flexible spending accounts (FSA), which reimburse their eligible health care and dependent care expenses.
Active employees are able to sign-up during the annual enrollment. Under this plan, an amount you determine is deducted pretax from your paycheck and sent to EBC. Qualified healthcare expenses and dependent care expenses are then reimbursed to you throughout the year by sending a copy of the invoice to EBC. This allows you to pay for your qualified medical expenses with pretax funds, thus providing a discount on medical expenditures.
