    Post A GUIDE TO HSAs and FSAs: You Can Buy Glasses with That?

    Here's a great infographic to use on your websites for consumers to explain how to pay for new eyewear via HSAs and FSAs, pointing out the differences. Let me know if you link to this from Frames Direct:

    How do I use my FSA or HSA dollars to purchase eyewear on FramesDirect.com?

    If you have an FSA or HSA debit card, you can enter that card's information at check-out, just like you would a normal credit card. If you do not have an FSA or HSA debit card, you will have to make your purchase using another credit card and seek reimbursement directly from your FSA or HSA provider. Most FSA or HSA providers will require you to submit a reimbursement form along with an itemized receipt or invoice (which will be emailed to you and included with your package).
    For additional information on Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts, see our Guide to HSAs and FSAs Infographic.


    .............interesting, they are progressing fast

    This is not new, most of the big-name chain opticals have been accepting HSA/FSA "flex spending cards" for at least the last three years.

    All it takes is a billing code/diagnosis code on an itemized receipt to get them reimbursed or make it HSA/FSA eligible.

    They do not need a power point explanation or a confusing graphic flyer to do so.
