Vision Plans vs. Medical Insurance

It usually comes down to why you’re seeing us. Vision insurance generally covers routine vision care, such as a regular eye exam to check your vision and prescription, and may include benefits for glasses or contact lenses.

Medical insurance may apply when your visit involves a medical eye problem or the evaluation and management of an eye condition. For example, visits related to glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, an eye injury, or other medical concerns.

Sometimes, what begins as a routine visit can uncover a medical concern that requires further evaluation. Because every insurance plan has its own coverage, deductibles, copays, and requirements, we’ll help you understand which benefits may apply to your care.

CareCredit® for Vision Care

CareCredit® provides a financing option for eligible healthcare expenses that may not be covered by insurance. If you’d prefer to spread eligible costs over time rather than paying the full amount at once, CareCredit may be an option worth exploring.

Approval and financing terms are determined by CareCredit, so we encourage you to review the available options and terms before applying.

Flexible Spending Accounts

If your employer offers a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you may be able to use those pre-tax funds toward eligible out-of-pocket eye care expenses.

Depending on your plan and eligibility, FSA funds may be used for expenses such as eye exams, copayments, prescription glasses, and contact lenses. Because individual plans and eligible expenses can vary, check your FSA benefits if you’re unsure what your account covers.
