What is the main difference between vision insurance and medical insurance?
Vision insurance (like VSP or EyeMed) covers routine wellness exams, prescription updates, and allowances for glasses or contact lenses. Medical insurance (like Medicare or major health plans) covers diagnostic evaluations and treatments for medical eye conditions, dry eye, diabetes, glaucoma, or sudden eye issues.
Which insurance plans do you accept, such as VSP, EyeMed, or Medicare?
We accept a wide range of major vision plans, including VSP and EyeMed, as well as major medical insurance providers, such as Medicare. Our staff verifies your coverage before your appointment to maximize your available benefits.
Can I use both my vision insurance and medical insurance during the same visit?
Yes, under specific circumstances. If your visit includes both a routine vision check for glasses/contacts and a medical evaluation or diagnostic testing for an active eye condition, both plans can often be coordinated to cover their respective parts of your care.
What payment methods do you accept for eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses?
We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), debit cards, cash, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and healthcare financing options like CareCredit.
How does CareCredit financing work for specialty treatments and eyewear?
CareCredit acts as a dedicated healthcare credit card that allows you to break payments for out-of-pocket expenses, such as specialty contact lenses, custom eyewear, or advanced dry eye therapies, into manageable monthly installments, often with promotional interest-free periods.
Can I pay my bill or invoice online before or after my appointment?
Yes. You can securely pay your bill online through our patient portal using the "Pay Bill" option on our website, making it quick and convenient to manage co-pays, balance payments, or optical purchases from home.
What should I bring with me to my eye exam appointment?
Please bring a valid photo ID, your physical vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses or sunglasses, your current contact lens boxes or prescription details, and a list of any prescription medications you are taking.
Can I use my FSA or HSA funds for glasses, contacts, or eye exams?
Yes. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) cover prescription eyewear, sunglasses with prescription lenses, contact lenses, fitting fees, and medical or routine eye care services.
What happens if my insurance does not cover a recommended test or specialty treatment?
If a recommended diagnostic scan or specialty treatment is not covered by your plan, our team provides transparent, out-of-pocket pricing beforehand and offers flexible payment solutions, including CareCredit financing and FSA/HSA payment options.
