Published by on January 4, 2016
Now is the time to Use Your FSA or HSA This New Year for a New You!
New Year, new changes, new you. Could this be your year to achieve your vision goals and leave your glasses and contact lenses behind? With the New Year upon us, why not change the view of your life in 2019 with a life changing solution like vision correction? You’ll gain clear distance vision to last a lifetime.
Every year, many people set goals and make resolutions to improve themselves. Some want to exercise more frequently, others seek a promotion at work! No matter what your long term goals are this year, LASIK will help you achieve them with clear and precise vision.
A smart first step in your journey toward amazing vision is taking advantage of a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account. Depending on your plan, right now is the best time to set up your FSA! Many employers offer a FSA with which you are able to save money on medical services– including vision correction like LASIK, ASA, KAMRA inlay, RLE, and many of our other life changing procedures. It’s never been easier to reclaim your crystal clear vision and gain freedom from glasses, contacts, reading glasses, and bifocals.
What is a Flexible Spending Account?
- It’s an account you set up through your employer
- You will determine an amount you wish to set aside for medical services, working within the limits of your employer’s plan
- A portion of each paycheck will go toward this predetermined FSA account amount, and the money is set aside before taxes are deducted
- Each pay period, an equal installment is taken from your gross salary
- This money can be used for many things including medical procedures, copayments, some medications, and sometimes daycare
- Similar to an advance on your FSA– it is possible to apply the full amount toward a procedure in the beginning of the year, even if you have not yet contributed the full spend limit to your account
- For some plans, whatever money you do not spend within your insurance plan year you will lose. It is important to know the details of your plan. Check with your plan administrator today.
Create Your Own Flexible Spending Account
If you do not currently have a Flex Spending Account and have been considering vision correction, then it has never been a better time to set up your FSA and schedule your procedure for January or February. At that point in the year, you will likely not yet have contributed the full spend limit amount to your FSA account. However, this is not a problem because you still have the option to apply the full amount immediately.
Start Pumping up Your Savings with a Health Savings Account
Not only can a Flexible Spending Account help you save toward vision correction, like LASIK, a Health Savings Account can help as well. If you have a high deductible healthcare plan, you can opt make pre-tax contributions into a Health Savings Account. Originally created in 2003, HSAs are designed to allow you to grow your available medical funds over the years and do not require you to spend the funds within a specific time period.
This makes an HSA account another valuable financial tool. Now that you understand the facts and can determine that you want to use either your flexible spending account or Health Savings Account for vision correction, there is just one more thing left to do– find out if you are a candidate!
When contemplating vision correction, consider the following benefits:
- Freedom
- Lifestyle
- Saves Time
- Saves Money
- It’s Safer for your eyes than contacts
Free yourself from the hassles of glasses and contacts and get your best vision. Gain the freedom to just get up and go at a moment’s notice. All vision correction procedures are safe and effective and with the one time cost of vision correction, like LASIK – you’ll save tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime by ending the cycle of buying glasses and contacts.
