HSA basic cover (optical cover query)

rebeccaj

I have the HSA basic cover. I've just had an eye test (although this was free with a D&A voucher so I'm not claiming for that) and now need some new glasses. I know HSA will reimburse necessary glasses up to £70 pa on this plan. Does anybody know if this applies only to glasses bought from a high street optician or can you order them on the internet and still claim with HSA?

I bought my last glasses from opticals4less based in HK and was going to order from them again but suddenly wondered if HSA would reimburse the cost of these if not bought in a regular high street optician.

Anybody had any experience of claiming through HSA for internet bought glasses please? TIA

I've claimed back my money after buying from internet. But then I bought from a UK site.
You can always send them an email to enquire, listing the website you are thinking of buying from. I did so before placing my order and found them very helpful.

Many thanks! I did just as you said and they were indeed very helpful and have said it is ok
