The $40 is pretax vs trying to hit a minimum amount of combined medical expenses for the year to meet the IRS minimums in order to deduct on your tax return.

Thanks to the many folks who took the time to explain the reimbursement process of this program. I have since signed up for an account.
Maybe I'm having a Senior Moment, but I'm having trouble figuring out the Pre-Tax angle and how it benefits us- Here is what I can't wrap my head around....
... 1) Let's say $40 is taken out (pre-tax) from my pay check. 2) I go to a doctor and pay a $40 co pay at the time of the visit using POST-TAX dollars 3) My insurance issues an Explanation of Benefits and FSAFEDS automatically deposits the $40 co pay back into my checking account. Conclusion= I now have the same $40 returned to my account that I just gave the doctor.
How has this given me any advantage?
