A Message from the Colon & Rectal Surgical Specialists of New York
December is here, and while you’re busy planning holidays, it’s also the most critical time to plan your health investments. If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), a Health Savings Account (HSA), or if you’ve met your annual insurance deductible, you may have funds or benefits set to expire on December 31, 2025.
Don’t let this opportunity pass! Our team of board-certified New York colorectal surgeons wants to ensure you complete the care you need before the clock runs out.
Why Scheduling This December is Crucial for Your Road to Relief
For patients managing chronic colorectal conditions like hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, colitis, or an anal fissure, delaying care can mean unnecessary pain and higher costs later. Here are the two major financial and health reasons why you should prioritize an appointment at our Long Island colorectal offices now:
1. Maximize Your 2025 Deductible & Save
If you have already met your annual insurance deductible this year, you are in a prime window to receive services at a greatly reduced—or even zero—out-of-pocket cost.
Actionable Tip: If you’ve been putting off a crucial diagnostic procedure, such as a colonoscopy screening or a follow-up consultation for persistent symptoms, now is the time to schedule it while your current year’s benefits are fully activated.
3. Use It or Lose It: Don’t Forfeit FSA/HSA Funds
FSA and many HSA plans are “use-it-or-lose-it.” This means any money designated for 2025 healthcare expenditures will vanish after the deadline. Eligible Procedures: These funds are explicitly designed to cover medical necessities. Common services at our New York surgical practice that qualify include:
- Specialist consultations and diagnostic appointments.
- In-office, non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment (like banding).
- Copayments or coinsurance for end-of-year procedures.
