The Difference Between HSA & FSA
There are a few key differences between a HSA and FSA. An HSA is essentially like a 401(k) retirement account, but for medical expenses. You own the account, and you can only have an HSA if you enroll in an HSA-compatible health plan. A FSA is set up by your employer, and they own the account. You do, however, get to decide which qualified medical expenses to pay for with your FSA, and it works with most of the available PPO employer-sponsored health plans.
Both a HSA and FSA have money deposited into them tax free, and when money is taken out, it is also tax free or tax-deductible. You can also use both to pay for qualified medical expenses (like orthodontics).
