Save Tax Money With LASIK - Flex can Pay for Your LASIK

If your employer offers it, A Flexible Spending Account(FSA) can be used to pay for your LASIK procedure. A flex account is money taken out of your paycheck BEFORE TAXES and set aside in a fund specifically for medical expenses. A Flex account saves you money by reducing your income taxes. The benefit is that you increase your spendable income which can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. Any expense that is considered a deductible medical expense by the IRS and is not reimbursed through your insurance can be reimbursed through a Flexible spending account. This includes LASIK eye surgery. Ask the

Human Resources department how Flexible spending works at your company.

Health Spending accounts(HSA’s) can also be used to pay for LASIK procedure.

Another possible way to save money when undergoing LASIK eye surgery is to deduct the cost of your LASIK procedure on your taxes. If your medical expenses reach 7.5% of your income in any given year the price of your LASIK may be deductible for tax purposes.
