About Insurance Plans

There are two types of health insurances that will help pay for your eye care service and products. You many have both and our practice accepts both.

They are:

Vision care plans (such as VSP and Davis)

Medical insurance (such as Regence, Premera, Aetna, Medicare and many others)

Vision Care Plans

Vision care plans (such as VSP) only contribute to the cost of routine vision exams along with eyeglasses and contact lenses.

These plans only cover a basic screening for eye disease.

Vision plans do not cover diagnosis, management or treatment of eye diseases (examples: diabetes, glaucoma, dry eye disease, cataracts, etc).

Medical Insurance Plans

Medical insurance must be used if you have any health problem that has ocular or systemic implications.

The doctor will determine if these conditions apply to you.

Some conditions are determined by your case history and complexity of the issues you present with.

If you have both types of insurance plans, it may be necessary for us to bill some services to one plan and other services to the other.

We will bill your insurance plans(s) for services if we are a participating provider for that plan.

If some fees are not paid by your plan, you will be responsible for any unpaid deductibles, co-pays or non-covered services as allowed by the insurance company.
