Remember to Use Your FLEX Money!

It’s crazy to think there are only two months left in 2017.

So if you have not used your FLEX money yet, now is the time to think about it!
 

What is FLEX money?

A flexible spending account is offered by some employers to their employees. It allows the employee to set aside wages for health care expenses. When the money is put into these accounts, it is not taxed. This saves the employee money when they use it on qualified medical expenses.

Depending on how your employer has your flex account set up, you may have a debit card to use on medical expenses, or you may get reimbursed after the fact from your employer.
 

How can FLEX money be used?

Flexible spending account money may be used for eye exams, contact lens evaluations, prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses, contact lenses, and more! Most any service or product from your optometrist qualifies as a valid medical expense that you can use with your FLEX money.
 

Is there a deadline to use FLEX money?

In most cases, yes!

For most employees, that deadline is usually the end of the year. FLEX money is a use-it-or-lose-it situation. If the money is not used, it just goes away. It does not roll over.

Of course, check with your employer for your specific FLEX money details but make sure you use it by your required deadline so that you do not lose any of your hard-earned money.

At Vision Source Mandan, you can use your FLEX money!

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
