This is why HSAs are better.
Especially if you are relatively healthy.
In any case.....don’t you need a doctor’s script now for ANYTHING to be taken from a FSA?
EDIT: apparently not
So unless your work does offer some degree of rollover, you are SOL.

I gave legal sterilization to a couple of family members at Christmas. Trying to make the world a better place.
