Did you know you can potentially save on LASIK eye surgery at The LASIK Vision Institute using pre-tax dollars? Here’s how a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) can help you achieve clearer vision without breaking the bank.
What is an FSA and How Can It Help with LASIK?
An FSA is a workplace benefit account that allows you to set aside pre-tax money for qualified medical expenses, including LASIK surgery. This reduces your overall taxable income and saves you money on the procedure.
2024 FSA Contribution Limits:
The IRS sets annual contribution limits for FSAs. For 2024, the maximum contribution is $3,200 (up from $3,050 in 2023). Some employers may also contribute to your FSA, further increasing your savings.
Using Your FSA for LASIK:
- Check Your Eligibility: Confirm with your employer if they offer an FSA and what the contribution limit is for 2024.
- Plan Your Contribution: Estimate the cost of LASIK surgery and choose an FSA contribution amount that covers it (or a significant portion).
- Schedule Your Consultation: Contact The LASIK Vision Institute to schedule a free consultation. Discuss financing options with the LASIK specialist, including how your FSA can be used.
Key Points to Remember:
- FSA funds are typically available at the beginning of the plan year, allowing you to plan for LASIK early.
- Some employers offer grace periods or carryover options, letting you use unused funds from the previous year.
- If you have questions about your FSA, including grace periods or carryover rules, contact your employer’s HR department.
