Use It or Lose It: Maximizing Year-End Insurance Benefits for Eye Care

As the year draws to a close, it's time to reflect on your health and well-being, especially your eye care. At Advanced Eyecare Associates, we want to remind you that many vision insurance benefits, including flexible spending accounts (FSAs), may not roll over into the new year. This means that if you don’t use them by December 31st, you could lose out on valuable coverage.

The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exams

Scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is crucial for maintaining optimal eye health. Even if you feel your vision is fine, many eye conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms.

Regular check-ups allow our experienced optometrist, Dr. Kevin Osborne, to detect issues early on, ensuring that any potential problems are addressed before they become serious. Our comprehensive eye exams include:

• A thorough assessment of your vision and eye health
• Updates to your prescription for glasses or contact lenses
• Screening for common eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts

By utilizing your insurance benefits for an eye exam now, you not only safeguard your vision but also save money on out-of-pocket expenses.

Maximize Your Benefits: Schedule Your Appointment Today

With the end of the year fast approaching, it’s essential to take action. Here are some key reasons to book your appointment at Advanced Eyecare Associates:

• Most vision insurance plans reset at the beginning of the year. If you don’t schedule your eye exam or purchase new eyewear before then, you risk losing those benefits.
• Using your insurance can significantly reduce the cost of essential services like comprehensive eye exams and new eyewear. Many plans cover a full exam and provide allowances for glasses or contact lenses.
• If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), remember that these funds often expire at year-end as well. You can use them for various eye care expenses, including exams and eyewear.
