As the year draws to a close, it’s not only time to start thinking about holiday gifts and New Year’s resolutions, but also about making the most of your health benefits. At SIGHT in West Hartford, CT, we want to remind you to use your vision benefits before they expire at the end of the year.
Maximize your FSA benefits
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), now is the perfect time to ensure you’re using these funds effectively. FSAs are a great way to pay for out-of-pocket health expenses, including eye exams, prescription glasses, and contact lenses. However, it’s important to remember that FSA funds typically do not roll over into the new year. Make sure to check your balance and schedule an eye exam before December 31st to avoid losing any unspent funds.
Make use of your HSA
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) offer more flexibility than FSAs, as they do not expire and can roll over from year to year. This makes them a valuable resource for managing health expenses over time. Despite this flexibility, it’s still a good idea to use your HSA for any immediate vision care needs. Using your HSA can help you take care of your eye health now while also planning for future needs.
Check your vision plan benefits
Many vision plans operate on a calendar year basis, meaning any unused benefits may reset at the beginning of the new year. If you haven’t used all of your benefits for 2024, now is the ideal time to schedule an appointment with us. Whether it’s for an eye exam, new glasses, or contact lenses, ensuring you take advantage of your vision plan can lead to significant savings.
