Healthcare Flexible Spending Account: Pre-Tax Medical Savings for Military

Military families, want to save hundreds on healthcare items you're already buying? There's a brand new benefit, and most of you probably haven't heard of it. Tricare is great, but it doesn't cover everything. Glasses, over-the-counter meds, co-pays, those 2 a.m. pharmacy runs when your kid is sick. It all adds up fast. Meet the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account, HFSA, for active duty, reserves, and guard. You pay for medical expenses with pre-tax dollars, which means more money in your pocket. Your funds can be used for prescriptions, sunscreen, dental work, contacts, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and more. Open enrollment begins in November, so be sure to mark your calendar. We've got the full breakdown at mybaseguide.com. Save this, share it, and tag your battle buddies, because no one should be leaving this money on the table.
