flexible spending. health savings account. medical reimbursement account

  • What are these and what can you use them for?

    An FSA/HSA/MRA is an account you sign up for through your employer.

    You put money aside, pre tax, and you can use it on medical needs that may not be covered through your insurance plan for you and/or your dependents.

    And, YES! Eyewear falls under that!

  • There are a few different types

    Some accounts, like an FSA, DO NOT roll over!

    In this case, you have to USE YOUR FLEX DOLLARS within a period of time or you LOSE the money you put away!

    HSA & MRA roll over, but always check with your HR to ensure all account rules.

  • do I have one or should i sign up?

    If you have one, you would’ve opted in during open enrollment with your company. If you’re not sure, reach out to your HR department and they can help.

    These funds are great to have in the event you run into any unexpected eyewear tragedies, want to build a beautiful eyewear collection, have used your vision insurance benefits, or when your vision insurance benefits don’t cover much. This also applies to other medical expenses that insurance doesn’t cover. Assess your medical needs and decide if one is right for you.
