Fairfield County Eyeglass Wearers Get Best LASIK Prices & Costs with Flex Plans

Doctor & Associates reminded patients that Fairfield County eyeglass and contact lens wearers can still take advantage of employer Flex Plans to make the price and cost of LASIK affordable.



    BRIDGEPORT, CT, October 01, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to Dorothy Figueroa, Practice Administrator at the offices of Connecticut LASIK Surgeon & Corneal Specialist Leslie Doctor, M.D. "Even with the new rules and regulations of Obamacare, eyeglass and contact lens wearers can still benefit from employer Flex Plans to help make the cost of LASIK surgery affordable. In most companies-small and large-employees continue to have Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Flex Plans available for LASIK again for 2015." Ms. Figueroa further explained, "Your tax bracket or tax situation really doesn't matter. There is a real benefit and convenience of having a little bit of pre tax money withheld by your employer payroll deduction. Most important though is that for those where their Flex Plan doesn't cover the entire cost, what we are doing is to offer easy monthly payment plans for any amount not covered by your Flex Plan," noted Ms. Figueroa.

It is also important for patients to note that if they have any remaining Flex Plan funds available for 2014, they must use them before year end so as not to lose them. If you have already used all of your allocated 2014 Flex Plan funds, then it is time to notify your employer to set aside $2,500 for you for LASIK in January 2015. Remember, that if both spouses have Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) through work, it is possible for each to withhold $2,500 in order to make the cost of LASIK easily affordable. "Having your employer take a small amount of money out of each paycheck-especially since it is before taxes-is a great way to pay for LASIK with added savings and easy payments," stated Ms. Figueroa.
