Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Available with any or no medical plan.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Wichita State University offers three types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). These
are optional accounts that employees can set up when enrolling in their benefit plans.
- Health Care FSA - allows employees to put pretax dollars aside to pay for health related expenses. This includes copayments, deductibles (medical, dental, vision and prescription), and non-network services. An employee can participate even if he or she is not enrolled in a WSU health insurance plan. For 2023, participants may carryover up to $570 into the next year.
- Limited FSA - allows employees to put pretax dollars aside to pay for health related expenses. This includes copayments, deductible (dental and vision), and non-network services. Employees cannot use Limited FSA fund to pay medical or prescription drug expenses. For 2023, participants may carryover up to $570 into the next year.
- Mass Transit FSA* - allows reimbursement for qualified mass transit tickets or passes, or State of Kansas van pools
- Parking FSA* - allows for reimbursment for parking associated with daily commute
* For employees who pay for parking on WSU's main campus, these deductions are already pre-tax, so an FSA does not provide any additional benefit.
