Health Savings Accounts
A Health Savings Account is a personal savings account that allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars for current and future health care costs.
With a Difference Card HSA, employees who are enrolled in an HSA-eligible deductible health plan are eligible to open an HSA.
Employers have the option to contribute to their employees’ HSAs as well. Health Savings Accounts cover expenses like copayments, doctors visits, deductibles, coinsurance and prescription drugs.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Simply put, a Difference Card FSA is now more powerful than ever!
The bottom line: FSAs save employees money. The contributions employees make to an FSA are deducted from their paycheck on a pre-tax basis – before federal income, social security, and most state taxes.
The end result of FSA contributions is a lower taxable income, and a tax-advantaged vehicle to pay for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account is designed to provide financial support to parents who work full-time.
Child and dependent care is a large expense for many American families.
Millions of people rely on child care to work, while others are responsible for older parents or disabled family members. Participants in a Dependent Care Account can save on these expenses while they work.
Health Reimbursement Arrangements
Reduce your out-of-pocket medical expenses by leveraging a Difference Card HRA
An HRA is a reimbursement account set up and funded by an employer to cover eligible healthcare expenses.
Unlike a Healthcare FSA where the IRS defines the eligible services, the employer defines the services eligible for reimbursement from an HRA.
Since an HRA is created and funded by the employer to pay for your employees’ eligible healthcare expenses, employers can decide which services will be covered under the HRA.

Commuter & Transit Accounts
A tax-free way to travel.
