Flexible Spending Accounts or Cafeteria Plans

Many companies have implemented benefit options that make elective surgeries such as LASIK an affordable alternative. These insurance programs are referred to as Flex Spending Plans, Cafeteria Plans or Alternative Health Plans.

Under these plans, you are allowed to withhold a defined amount of Pretax Dollars through Payroll Deduction to pay for a variety of expenses not covered by insurance, including Laser Vision Correction. When employees use tax-free dollars to pay for these expenses, they can realize an increase in their spending power, and substantial tax savings (up to 50%).

Please contact your Human Resources department for more details.

Insurance

Laser Vision Correction is considered an elective procedure generally not covered by medical insurance. However, Dr. Dougherty is a preferred provider on Eyemed and Spectera/UHC which offer special rates for their members.

Tax Deduction Benefits

The IRS permits taxpayers to deduct medical expenses if such expenses exceed 7.5% of their annual incomes. Because LASIK and other types of Laser Vision Correction "meaningfully promote the proper function of the body", they qualify as a deductible expense according to the IRS.

If you meet the qualifications for this tax deduction, the costs of LASIK will be substantially reduced for you.
Check with your tax expert to see if this applies to your individual situation.
