FSAs and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) have helped people all over the U.S. save pre-tax money from their paychecks and use those funds to offset health expenses that their insurance policies may not cover. Some FSA and HSA plans allow you to roll over up to $500 of unspent funds from the previous year instead of offering the first quarter grace period.
