Where has this year gone?

It’s hard to believe there are just over two weeks until Christmas! These days are busy with shopping and other holiday preparations but don’t forget to take advantage of your insurance benefits and flexible spending account.  Also known as cafeteria plans, these accounts enable you to spend pre-tax dollars for various health related expenses.  For example, most flexible spending accounts can be used to get an eye examination; purchase prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses; and even pay for LASIK surgery.

Regional Eyecare Center is a provider for several different insurance plans including Medicare, Missouri Health Net, Alliance Blue Cross & Blue Shield, HealthLink, and Vision Service Plan.  The details of each plan vary considerably so give us a call for help in determining your eligibility and explaining your benefits.

Most plans operate on the calendar year so the days to use this year’s plans are quickly slipping away.  The week between Christmas and New Year’s fills up quickly and a very limited number of appointments are available.  Schedule your appointment now to ensure that you use your benefits before they expire.  To request an appointment contact us through our website or by telephone at 573-335-3937.
