During open enrollment, Nov. 7 – Dec. 2, you can set aside up to $2,550 pre-tax each year in a healthcare flexible spending account to get reimbursed for eligible medical, dental and vision expenses that aren’t covered by your medical plan.

In addition to copays, coinsurance and deductibles, these expenses include:

• Dental work and orthodontia
