About Insurance
There are two types of health insurances that may help pay for your eyecare services and materials. You may have both and our practice accepts: (1) Medical Insurance (e.g. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Cigna…etc.) and (2) Vision Plans (e.g. VSP).
Medical Insurance is billed for visits regarding ocular health disorders or symptoms related to eye health problems, including existing health conditions that can affect your eyes. This will be determined based on your exam, but some are determined by your case history.
Vision Plans are not truly insurance but provide some coverage for only routine exams for glasses, contacts and inspection of internal and external eye health in a healthy person WITHOUT known eye disease. You may have coverage for materials as well.
If you have both types of insurance plans, it may be necessary for us to bill some services to one plan and other services to the other plan. We will use coordination of benefits to do this properly and minimize you out-of-pocket expense.
We will bill your insurance plan for services if we are a participating provider for that plan. We will try to obtain advanced authorization of your insurance benefits in an attempt to let you know what is covered. Any co-pays, deductible or non-covered services will be your responsibility.
If you have any questions about this, please let us know!
