Flexible Spending Accounts Can Save 40% off LASIK

But, this is the LAST YEAR to "max-out" your Flex Savings Account

By using a Flexible Spending Account, you can use "pre-tax" dollars to save over 40% on your vision correction procedure. But, this is the LAST YEAR to maximize your Flex Spending Account because the federal tax rules have recently changed. President Obama recently signed the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, which is a United States federal statute that will DROP the maximum allowable annual contribution that can be put into a flex spending account from $5,000 per year to $2,500 per year beginning in 2013. Call our office to learn how to get set up. It's by far the smartest way to get the best price for LASIK!

It's Easy! The 3 Critical Steps to Obtain Flexible Spending for LASIK:

1. Find out if you are a candidate for LASIK (Schedule Your Free LASIK Exam)

2. Find out your company's deadline for open enrollment for a Flexible Spending Account (Ask your HR Department)

3. Find out how much your LASIK procedure will cost so that you know how much to set aside in your account. (At your consultation, we'll determine which procedure is best for you and provide pricing information)

IRS-Approved! A Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is an IRS-approved, tax-exempt account that saves you significant amounts of money on eligible medical expenses, including laser eye surgery. The money that you choose to deposit into a flexible spending account is deducted from your gross income before taxes are calculated. You pay for LASIK with the tax-free dollars that you’ve already earned. These funds are exempt from federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes. Rather than paying the government more taxes, you can pay for your LASIK procedure!

Use it or lose it! Flex Spending accounts expire at the end of each year without the ability to rollover to the following year. Many patients use their flexible spending account money for elective medical procedures in January (first available) or they wait until December so they don’t forfeit their money. Please call us to learn more about how to apply your flex spending account to your LASIK procedure.
