Now is the time to use a Flexible Spending Account for hearing aids

openfit annouces our FSA Program to save people money when using a FSA

Many people this time of year have money in their flexible spending accounts that they need to use before the end of the year. Openfit.com has launched our FSA program to help you get the maximum use out of your hearing aid purchase. Hearing aids are often a perfect choice when trying to decide the best way to use your flexible spending account but generally they cost more money than what is in the flexible spending account. This is where our FSA Program comes in.

First, we recommend getting a hearing aid evaluation from a local audiologist. An audiologist will assess your needs and be sure that you are a good candidate for a hearing aid. An audiologist will also provide you with a hearing chart or audiogram that we will use to set the hearing aids.

Next, contact us about your hearing needs and let us know how much money you have left over in your FSA. If we cannot sell both hearing aids, we will break the purchase into two parts and sell one hearing aid to you before the year ends and sell the other hearing aid to you after the new year begins. This will allow you to get the maximum benefit from your FSA. Typically, we charge $250 for the programming box if you are only purchasing a single hearing aid, but with our FSA program, this fee will be waived when you agree to make the second purchase next year.

Finally, we will discuss other products that we carry that may be of benefit to you if you still have money left over in your FSA. These products include hearing aid batteries, hearing aid supplies and hearing aid enabled telephones. With careful planning, we can help you get the best benefit from your hearing aids.
