What you need to know

Can I contribute to a health care FSA if I am covered under a high-deductible health plan through my spouse's employer?

Yes. However, you should elect a limited health care FSA so your spouse can remain eligible for HSA contributions. If you elect the general purpose health care FSA, your spouse will lose his or her eligibility to contribute to an HSA since your general purpose health care FSA is considered disqualifying health coverage and automatically covers your spouse.

Coaches' Takeaway

It depends on whether it a limited- or general-purpose FSA. If it is limited, then yes, if it is general purpose, then no.
