Your Vision Insurance and HSA/FSA Spending Options
When it comes to your vision benefits and flexible spending accounts (FSA), you may be surprised to learn that some unused benefits cannot be rolled over into the New Year. Unused FSAs typically expire at the end of every year and restart on January 1st. If you don’t use them by December’s end, they are gone forever. Be sure to check your benefit package for details about your plan.
SHOP WITH YOUR VISION INSURANCE
Vision insurance plans vary in their coverage, and while we don't work directly with the insurance carriers, most plans will reimburse you for your purchase once you provide an itemized receipt which we provide.
We've put together a list of some of the more popular carriers below—but if you don't see your insurance company listed, please contact us and we'll be happy to help you find out if you are covered.
WE ACCEPT FSA/HSA!
If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, you can use it to pay for the cost of your prescription eyewear, provided that your FSA or HSA card is affiliated with a major credit card.
If you would like to use your FSA or HSA card to pay for just a portion of your purchase, please call us at 855.541.5944.
