Affording LASIK
If you want better vision, our team doesn’t want cost to stand in your way. LASIK vision correction is not typically covered by insurance because it is considered an elective procedure; however, we have several recommendations to help make this an attainable goal for your budget:
- LASIK financing
- Flexible Spending Account
- Tax refunds
- Credit cards
LASIK Financing
At the Idaho Eye and Laser Center, we offer 0% financing through CareCredit®. If you qualify, you can have your LASIK procedure with no money down and pay for it over time.
- 0% interest financing for up to 6 months
- Longer term financing options with low interest rates
- Low monthly payments
- No pre-payment penalties
Flexible Spending Accounts for LASIK
If you have access to a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, you may be able to set aside pre-tax earnings to save for LASIK and ultimately end up spending less on the overall cost. There are restrictions with these plans regarding the timeframe when the money must be used, so make sure you know all of the specific rules of your plan before enrolling. It is also advised to have a free LASIK Screening with us prior to enrolling to ensure your eyes are right for the procedure and you know how much it will cost. You don’t want to under- or over-save and end up losing money.
Tax Refunds for LASIK
Applying your tax refund toward LASIK can be a smart use of this “found” money. Rather than spending it on vacations, electronics, or shopping sprees, you will be putting that money toward improving your quality of life through vision correction.
Credit Cards for LASIK
At the Idaho Eye and Laser Center we accept the following credit cards for LASIK:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Discover
- American Express
We also accept cash and personal checks. Our staff will be happy to help you understand your options when it comes to affording LASIK in Idaho Falls. Schedule your free LASIK Screening today.
