1 Florida Blue offers only the health benefit plan to be used in conjunction with the Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is an individual's account to manage with our preferred administrator or a qualified financial institution or trustee of their choice. For more information on opening an HSA, the tax advantages of doing so, and the important tax implications of HSAs as used with a high-deductible health benefit plan, please contact a tax advisor or a financial institution.

2 The FSA and HRA programs are financial reimbursement plans, not insurance programs.

Limitations and exclusions may apply. 

The amount of benefits provided depends upon the plan selected and the premium may vary with the amount of benefits selected.
