Spending Accounts
What Employees Need to Know
FSAs allow you to set aside money from your paycheck on a pretax basis to pay for qualified health care and/or dependent care costs. Partners are not eligible to contribute to an FSA.
Available to Employees Only
HealthEquity is the firm’s FSA administrator. The types of FSAs available to you are the following:
General Purpose Health Care FSA
If you are enrolled in the BCBS Blue Care Elect Preferred PPO Plan, you may participate in this account and use pretax dollars to pay for eligible medical, vision, and dental expenses.

If you are enrolled in the BCBS Blue Care Elect Saver HDHP, you can participate in this account and use tax-free dollars for eligible dental and/or vision expenses.
