There are two types of insurance that may help pay for an eye exam and, perhaps, glasses and contact lenses: medical and vision insurance.
Medical Insurance
Medicare sets the standard for how medical insurance covers eye exams. Since it was created in 1965, Medicare has always paid for a yearly eye health exam and for any visits related to eye diseases such as dry eye and macular degeneration. They have never paid for the determination of a glasses prescription or glasses themselves.
Medical insurance often has a deductible or copay. Copays are to be paid at the time of service. We will bill your insurance(s) directly to determine if your deductible has been met. If it has not, you will then receive a statement from us for the amount that your insurance company tells us that you owe.
Vision Insurance
Vision insurance pays for at least a portion of a routine eye exam. This means they partially cover an eye health screening and the determination of a glasses prescription. They do not cover any medical eye care, like treating styes or glaucoma. They also contribute toward glasses or contact lenses, but not both. However, over the last few years, some vision insurance companies have been making a lot of changes while we weren’t looking. You may not be getting your money’s worth…
We at Eye Boutique of Sedona have determined that, in the vast majority of cases, we can save you more money than your vision insurance!
Other Ways to Pay
Of course we accept cash, checks, credit cards, Care Credit, Flex Spending Accounts, and Health Savings Accounts!
