We strive to do everything we can to make your LASIK experience at
Bloomberg Eye Center enjoyable. For many people the financial aspect
of LASIK is the biggest barrier. Beyond making LASIK affordable, our
job is to guide you through payment and financing options. Our LASIK
counselors are always available to explain and answer specific
questions.
Payment Options
Four options to pay
1. Pay in full by check or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover
accepted).
2. Pay by cash, money order, or certified check, and receive a
5%
cash discount. (Cannot be combined with other offers). This is a
popular option if you are able to pay upfront and avoid financing
and credit card costs.
3. Finance the cost through Care Credit with a payment plan right
for you (see below)
4. Flex spending. Check with your employer and
see below

Flexible Spending Accounts
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are a great way to set aside money
to pay for medical expenses and save on taxation. With a flexible
spending account you set a schedule of deductions from your payroll
disbursements to cover medical expenses throughout the year. This
money is deducted from your pay checks according to the schedule you
set forth and is exempt from all Federal, State and Social Security
taxes. This means the amounts you set aside in the FSA are not
included in your taxable income for the year and depending on your
tax bracket this can lead to a sizable savings. This is a great way
to cover the cost of your vision correction procedure. Check with
your Human Resources Department or Benefits Manager at work to see if
your company offers such a plan. Most FSA plans stipulate that any
funds set aside in the FSA which are not used by the end of the year
are forfeited. Therefore, we highly suggest coming in for your Free
Consultation to determine the cost of your individual procedure so
that you know exactly how much to contribute to your FSA to cover
your procedure cost without any overage at the end of the year.
