You are only eligible for an HSA if you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan with HSA (HDHP).
The Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account that you can use to pay for eligible health expenses.
To enroll in the HSA, you must be enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan with HSA (HDHP) and:
You can access your HSA at HealthEquity.
Keep in mind, the maximum amount you and Endeavor can contribute to your HSA is determined by annual limits set by the IRS. In 2024, the total contribution limits are:
Plus, an additional $1,000 in catch-up contributions if you’re 55 or older.

You can contribute pre-tax money from your paycheck to a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) with HealthEquity. Using an FSA is like getting a discount on everyday health care expenses because you don’t pay income tax on FSA money.
Use your Healthcare FSA dollars to pay for medical, dental, and vision expenses such as copays, deductibles, supplies, and prescribed medication. Even many over-the-counter items are eligible! See a complete list of eligible expenses.
With FSA money, you “use it or lose it.” You can only carry over up to $640 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit any remaining amount above $640. So, before you enroll in a Healthcare FSA, think carefully about how much you expect to spend in out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision, and pharmaceutical expenses for your family during 2024.
Keep in mind, the maximum amount you can contribute to your Healthcare FSA is determined by annual limits set by the IRS. In 2024, the contribution limit is $3,200.
Here’s an example. Let’s say Tom decides to set aside $2,000 in an FSA for the year. Normally, on that money, he’d pay $480 in federal income tax, $100 in state income tax, and $153 in payroll tax. So, by contributing that $2,000 to his FSA, he’ll get $733 in tax savings for the year.
Without an FSA, Tom would pay … | Savings |
---|---|
24% in federal income tax | $480 |
5% in state income tax | $100 |
7.65% in payroll tax | $153 |
His total tax savings for the year with an FSA | $733 |

Reminder: You must re-enroll in your Health Care FSA and select your contributions each year during Open Enrollment. You can only change your contribution amount during the year if you experience a qualifying life event.
Can be used with the High Deductible Health Plan with HSA (HDHP) only.
The Limited Purpose FSA works together with the Health Savings Account (HSA) to give you additional tax-savings opportunities.
This account can be used to cover eligible dental and vision expenses (e.g., fillings, crowns, orthodontics, eye exams, contact lenses, Lasik, and other vision and dental-related costs).
Please note: After your HDHP deductible is met, you can use your Limited Purpose FSA dollars for any eligible health expense (not just dental and vision expenses).
Keep in mind, the maximum amount you can contribute to your Limited Purpose FSA is determined by annual limits set by the IRS. In 2024, the contribution limit is $3,200
You may carry over up to $640 of your remaining balance into the following calendar year. Any balance over $640 remaining at the end of the year will be forfeited.
Pairs with any medical plan. Only employees making $150,000 or less are eligible to participate in the Dependent Care FSA.
The Dependent Care FSA allows you to set aside pre-tax money to cover eligible childcare or adult-dependent care expenses like day care, summer camp, after-school programs, and more.
Keep in mind, the maximum amount you can contribute to your Dependent Care FSA is determined by annual limits set by the IRS. In 2024, the contribution limit is:
*Make sure that you and your spouse limit your individual elections to total no more than $5,000 combined.
There is no carryover amount with a Dependent Care FSA. Any funds remaining in your Dependent Care FSA are forfeited if not incurred or submitted by the annual deadline.
