LASIK Surgery & Insurance Coverage

Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery

Will My Insurance Cover The Cost of LASIK?

Does insurance cover LASIK eye surgery? It’s one of the first questions that many people ask when considering a LASIK procedure – and planning for the cost is an important part of the process.

While it is rare for insurance companies to cover the cost of laser eye surgery, there are some exceptions, so it doesn’t hurt to inquire with your insurance company. Most LASIK patients, however, rely on other payment options to cover their surgery.

Health Insurance, FSA’s, and HSA’s for LASIK

Health Insurance
LASIK is considered an elective procedure, and therefore, may not be covered by vision or health insurance plans. But, don’t count your insurance out of your LASIK plans just yet! Some insurances might offer a discount on LASIK, however, The LASIK Vision Institute may match your insurance plan’s discount or have comparable discounts available (up to 20% off, cannot be combined with other offers).

FSA’s and HSA’s
Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts allow you to take funds set aside for your healthcare and apply them toward your LASIK eye surgery price. The benefits of using these accounts are that the funds are not subject to taxes and can generally be used at your discretion for health services (Please check your individual FSA or HSA plan for guidelines).
