Save on LASIK and Orthodontic Costs By enrolling in a flexible spending account plan from take care, you can save on LASIK and orthodontic costs. In fact, these health accounts can actually save you 25% to 40% on every dollar you spend on these and other health, vision, and dental expenses. How so? By allowing you to put aside tax-free funds to be used for health expenses not covered under your employer's health insurance policy. Save on LASIK and Orthodontic Costs with Flexible Spending Accounts While the vision plans of many companies cover the costs of glasses and contact lenses, there are still many plans that exclude laser vision correction. But even if your plan does not cover such procedures, you may still be able to save on LASIK costs through your flexible spending account. The pre-tax dollars you place in your FSA can be used to cover the cost of laser vision correction, as well as cataract and corrective eye surgery. If you do not have vision care included in your health insurance plan, you may also be able to pay for office visits, routine eye exams, eyeglasses, and contact lens supplies. Not only can flexible spending accounts help you save on LASIK and vision care, they can also assist with orthodontic costs. The types of dental procedures covered under dental plans can vary wildly. Thankfully, the holes in your coverage can often be filled with flexible spending account dollars. Just as with vision care, you can use your FSA to pay for routine dental visits, as well as wisdom teeth, implants, and oral surgery. Visits with an orthodontist, periodontist, or endodontist may all be covered. Even dental supplies such as antiseptic mouthwash are often reimbursable. By using your flexible spending account, you can save on LASIK and orthodontic costs that you would incur anyway. The best part is that the total of your yearly contributions to your FSA are available from day one of enrollment. This means you can use your money to pay for laser vision correction and other services prior to contributing the money to your account. |
