Can I use both Vision and Medical Insurance?
Unfortunately, both your vision benefits and medical insurance cannot be used on the same day. If you are having a medical complaint with your eyes, we will use your medical insurance whereas if you just need your glasses updated, we will use your vision benefits.
If you have both insurance plans, our office will coordinate the benefits to minimize your out-of-pocket costs. Our goal is to bill appropriately based on the reason for your visit. You would be responsible for copays, deductibles, and coinsurance.
On some occasions, a routine eye exam must be converted to a medical visit if an incidental or urgent eye problem is discovered that would prevent us from obtaining a reliable refraction for glasses or performing a contact lens fit.
What if I don't have insurance?
Reassure that our fees are designed to be affordable without compromising quality. We prioritize patient care above all else.
