Got Flexible Spending? HSA? FSA? how do you use it?
Here are 10 ways to Make. It. Rain.

Got A Flexible Spending Account (FSA)? Your time may be running out to use that cash.

Can you spend your Flexible Spending Account / Health Savings Account at your eye doctor’s practice?!? The answer is YES. Many people do not realize that prescription glasses and contacts are a benefit. Here’s the ins and outs.

If you don’t use your FSA money by the end of the grace period or depending on the rules of the employer, you will potentially lose some of that cash. And any cash that is lost is never good! While HSA (Health Savings Account), the saving you own, rolls over from year to year with no specific spending deadline, the FSA balance can expire. The money in the account is forfeited by December 31 of every year or by March 15 of the following year (if you have a grace period, usually ranging from 60 to 90 days). These employer-sponsored plans may have carryovers, but you must understand what benefits you have how they work.

The question is – how do you use your FSA money?

FSA is an excellent and smart way to cover a variety of expenses. Eyecare and eyewear are two great options to spend your Flexible Spending Account / Health Savings Account money on. Many people do not realize that prescription glasses and contacts are benefits that they can get with the FSA money.

Here are 10 ways to MAKE IT RAIN and maximize your savings at your eye doctor’s practice:

  1. Prescription Glasses: Frames and lenses – COVERED.
  2. PrescriptionLenses: Update all your favorite frames. Clear. Sunglass. You name it. All LENSES ARE COVERED.
  3. Contact Lenses:Get up to a 12-month supply. Because you think glasses are a pain. 12-MONTH SUPPLY COVERED.
