At EyeCare Group Edmonton, we work with a variety of Canadian insurance companies to help our patients make the most of their HAS benefits.

When it comes to buying contact lenses, having an HAS can be a great advantage. An HAS is a tax-advantaged account that allows you to pay for certain medical expenses, including contact lenses. Our team at EyeCare Group can bill most insurance companies for the general health coverage, so you can take advantage of your HAS benefits when purchasing your contact lenses.

Some of the most popular Canadian insurance companies we work with are Alberta Blue Cross, Medavie, Sunlife, and Greenshield. These companies provide a variety of health spending accounts to employees, allowing them to save money on healthcare expenses and improve their overall health.

When using your HAS to buy contact lenses, it’s important to keep in mind that the expenses must be considered a qualified expense. Contact lenses are definitely a qualified expense, so you can use your HAS funds to purchase them without any trouble. Additionally, even prescription sunglasses can be considered a qualified expense for an HAS, so you can use your funds to purchase them as well.
