Insurance

Many of our patients present to our office with a vision plan to cover their annual eye examination. Often vision plans are "carved out" of your medical insurance. For those of you who may not participate in a vision plan, you may schedule your visit under your medical insurance. What is the difference?

Vision insurance may offer to pay for the majority of the cost of a routine eye exam when blurry vision, eyestrain or headaches may be the problem. A routine eye exam is when your doctor checks your vision, analyzes your eyeglass / contact lens prescription and evaluates your entire eye health. Vision insurance may also cover some of the cost of materials, such as glasses or contact lenses. The frequency of your vision insurance coverage is typically limited to one exam per year.
