Frequently Asked Questions

What HSA limits apply to dental implant financing in 2026?

IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-19 lists $4,400 as the 2026 annual HSA deduction limit for self-only high-deductible coverage and $8,750 for family coverage. Those dollars can pay qualified implant fees if the account is eligible. An HSA is not a loan. Unused funds roll forward instead of expiring at year end.

How does CareCredit dental implant financing work after the promo?

CareCredit lists 6, 12, 18 or 24 months deferred interest promo financing. No interest is charged on the promotional purchase balance if you pay it off in full within that window. For new accounts as of 5/30/2024, the purchase APR is 32.99% if the promo balance is not paid off.

What FSA limit is listed next to dental implant financing?

Mercer, reporting IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32, lists a 2026 health FSA maximum salary reduction of $3,400 and a maximum health FSA carryover of 680. FSA dollars are use-it-or-lose-it except for that published carryover when the plan allows it. Time surgery to the plan year.
