Don't Let Your Benefits Go to Waste

very year, you're given a certain number of benefits through your traditional vision insurance policy and any flexible spending accounts you have. These benefits rarely carry over to the next year, so it's imperative that you use up the benefits you have left for this year. If you've got any free or very low-cost vision benefits or a flexible-spending amount that you haven't used yet, call Warm Springs Optometric Group in Fremont immediately.
 

Flexible Spending and Traditional Vision Benefits Don't Roll Over

Whether you have a flexible-spending account with dollars left in it, or you have a free exam still unused on your traditional insurance, you'll likely lose those once January rolls around. Traditional vision insurance never allows benefits to move from year to year; if you are allotted one free vision exam, for example, then starting in January, you'll be allowed only one free exam for the year -- you won't have two because you didn't use the benefit during the previous year. Flexible spending almost never rolls over -- there are situations in which a set amount might roll over, but you can't assume that yours does unless your employer has made it crystal clear -- which means that all that money you have in the account will disappear if you don't use it.
 

If you don't use up your benefits this year but get new ones next year, then why worry? No pun intended but look at it this way. With flexible spending, the money that you socked away in the account is likely not going to stay there. If you want to get your eyes examined in January, you have to contribute to the account again. Why lose that money? Instead, get your eyes checked now and save your next year's benefit for later that year.
