If you’ve been thinking about LASIK but are worried about the cost, here’s some good news: your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) could help make LASIK more affordable! These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified medical expenses, including LASIK. As the year winds down, it’s a great time to consider using these funds before they expire.
What is an FSA or HSA?
An FSA is typically offered through your employer, allowing you to contribute pre-tax money for medical expenses during the plan year. However, many FSAs operate under a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy, meaning if you don’t spend the funds by the end of the year, they expire.
An HSA, on the other hand, is available to individuals with high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). Contributions are also pre-tax, but the funds roll over each year if unused, making it a great tool for saving toward future healthcare costs, including elective procedures like LASIK.
Why Now is the Perfect Time for LASIK
As the end of the year approaches, it’s essential to check how much you have remaining in your FSA or HSA. Using these funds toward LASIK can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
Not only can you enjoy the long-term benefits of LASIK—like no longer needing glasses or contacts—but you can also reduce the financial impact by using funds you’ve already set aside.
