Use Your FSA Health Benefits Dollars Before December 31

50% off your 2^nd complete pair of eyeglasses through the end of the year

Hinsdale, IL (December, 2015) –  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

If you participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through your employer’s benefits program, time may be running out. Some plans require the money you contributed to be spent by December 31, or you risk losing it.  Also, Vision Insurance/Discount plan benefits typically expire at the end of the year before resetting for the new year.  Use your benefits for exams and eyeglass materials/contact lenses before you lose them!

Savvy plan participants, such as you, are directing their spending towards eye care.  Each plan differs in details, but typically FSA will cover eye care expenses such as:

·        Co-payments and deductibles on a covered eye health examination

·        Routine eye health exams

·        Prescription eyeglasses, computer glasses, driving glasses

·        Contact lenses

·        Prescription sunglasses

·        Medications towards dry and other eye conditions

What to do next? 

1.     Understand your plan and guidelines to know what is covered.

2.     Make an appointment with Hinsdale Advanced Eye Care as soon as possible.  Don’t wait until last minute.

3.     Keep good records.  You may need to provide receipts when you submit for reimbursement.
