Flexible Spending Accounts

MWHC offers two flexible spending accounts (FSAs): a healthcare FSA and a dependent care FSA. These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax money for certain health and dependent care expenses - like getting a discount on certain health and dependent care expenses because you are paying them with money that has not been subject to federal or Social Security tax. The typical Associate saves 35% on eligible expenses through the FSA plan. Estimate your annual tax savings and qualified expenses by going to www.umr.com.
