    Cover Health Care Costs for Special Medical or Educational Needs

    Learn how a flexible spending account can help you save money on health care costs for your family member, especially if you are a member of the Exceptional Family Member Program. Host Bruce Moody speaks with Megumi Murakami, executive director for flexible spending accounts for the Defense Department’s Office of Personnel Readiness and Tomeshia Barnes, DOD Office of Special Needs. They discuss how a flexible spending account allows families to set aside pretax earnings to pay for certain expenses. This can help service members enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program cover out-of-pocket costs for special medical needs, including TRICARE’s Extended Care Health Option or educational needs like speech therapy.
