I have a flex plan through my employer. When my daughter got glasses, we went to a non-par provider (LensCrafters), so I used my flex card (like a credit card) to pay. Then I submitted a claim to VSP, for out of network reimbursement. If they send me a check, is that wrong?

No I do not believe so. By paying for your service with your flex - that is like paying cash up front because you thought the service was not covered. Now, you are send the claim into your insurance carrier because they might pay for some of it - that is not double dipping.
The money in your flex is YOUR money. It is no different than if you just took cash out of the bank and paid the claim and then got reimbursed by your insirance company.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the flex card is a flexible spending account - in other words, it's your OWN money, put aside to pay medical bills, right? If that's the case, then no, you're not double dipping.
