This account functions as a bank account and can be used to reimburse medical, vision and dental expenses not covered or partially covered by your selected option or by your spouse's plan.

Alfred’s tip

The tax treatment of amounts reimbursed through the HSA varies depending on your province of residence.

  • Provincial taxable benefit for Quebec residents.
  • Non-taxable benefit for non-Quebec residents.

Alfred’s tip

Did all your flex dollars go toward paying for your insurance coverage options? If you'd prefer to allocate some of your flex dollars to lifestyle or savings options instead, you can choose to increase your payroll contributions to cover a greater portion of your premiums.
