Vision benefits and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds follow a “use them or lose them” policy—they expire at the end of the year and do not roll over.
What you should do before the end of the year:
• Book a comprehensive eye exam for yourself and family members, as the exam is partially, if not fully, covered by vision insurance.
• Get new glasses, prescription sunglasses, or contacts to use your remaining allowance.
• Check to see if there is also an allowance for upgrades, such as anti-glare or blue light filters.
• Use any FSA funds to help pay for Eligible expenses.
• Schedule appointments as early as possible since the end of the year is a busy time for vision care, because of these benefits being close to expiration.
• Some vision plans cover specialty eyecare services, including treatment for dry eye, computer vision syndrome, and eye conditions like glaucoma.
On average, families across the United States lose $441 each year in unused benefits and FSA funds that they paid for. Do not let these benefits go to waste-use them before they expire on December 31st.
Remember the clock is ticking. Call now to schedule.
