LASIK and Employer Health Insurance

You hear about new employer-sponsored health plans that can relieve part of the problem of LASIK financing. Too good to be true? While many employers today are struggling with employee benefits and the spiraling costs of health insurance, some employers offer flexible spending accounts or FSAs that you can use to offset the burden of paying for LASIK surgery. Your company will determine if you qualify, and if you do, will withhold pre-tax dollars through payroll deduction to cover your LASIK procedure. LASIK eye surgery centers are now working with employers to provide LASIK financing as a health insurance benefit. Ask your company's human resource program if you quality for LASIK financing.
