ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE  

 

There are two types of health insurance that will help pay for your eye care services and products and they fall into two categories such as vision and medical. 

 

For Vision plans (VSP, NBN, Blue Cross, etc.) your routine vision wellness exam, eyeglasses and contact lenses are typically covered. Vision plans DO NOT cover medical care (the diagnosis, management and treatment of eye health problems) and often times are coordinated with your medical plan.

 

Medical insurance plans like Medicare, must be used for medical eye care. If you have both types of insurance plans, it might be necessary for us to bill some services to one plan and some to the other. We follow a procedure called "coordination of benefits" to do this properly and to minimize our patient's out of pocket expenses.

​

**Please note that for a medical eye exam, the refraction is NOT covered and is the patient's responsibility. The medical eye exam focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of eye health.

You are responsible for the terms of your insurance contract, including deductibles, copays or non-covered services according to your insurance benefits.
