***We accept most major medical insurances and some EyeMed vision plans. As of 01/03/2022 we will no longer be in the Davis network.
VISION INSURANCE VS. MEDICAL INSURANCE
Vision Insurance
Vision insurance (such as EyeMed) only cover routine vision exams along with eyeglasses and contact lenses. These plans only cover a basic screening for healthy eye exams. Vision insurance will not cover sudden vision loss, floaters, dry eyes, allergies, infections, eye disease, or eye exams for complications from diabetes. If you need medication the doctor will not be able to give you a prescription if you are using vision insurance.
Medical Insurance
Medical insurance must be used if you have any health problem(s) that has ocular implications. If you have a medical and/or eye condition (e.g., cataracts, cholesterol, diabetes, macular degeneration, glaucoma, dry eyes, and cornea problems) this examination may be billed to your medical insurance.
Please keep in mind that although we are familiar and knowledgeable about insurance plans, it is not our responsibility to know the full details of your policy. Ensure that you are aware of referral requirements, possible deductibles, co-insurances and co-pays. You can call the phone number on the back of your insurance card or look up your insurance policy details online.
Ask your insurer about a variety of possible scenarios so that you can have a better grasp of what to expect during these exams. This will also help you maximize the benefits that you can get from your insurance plans.
