Jo Anne, did you have an HSA or a health care flexible spending account? Flexible spending accounts have a pre-selected amount of pre-tax dollars set aside that you can then spend on non-covered medical expenses. Those funds "expires" at the end of the calendar year. I thought all HSA accounts allowed you to accrue money over time. Flexible spending accounts do need a fair bit of crystal ball gazing. I lost about 500 bucks last year because I overestimated my needs. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
