Medical insurance covers a patient's eye care visit when the doctor

determines a medical diagnosis as to the outcome of a patient's reason for

their visit. Examples can be: eye infections, foreign body removal,

sudden onset of flashes and floaters, double vision, eye pain, dry eye

problems, blurred vision, headache, and many other symptoms. Medical

Insurance would also cover visits to monitor progressive eye conditions

such as cataracts, glaucoma, vitreous changes, corneal conditions,

diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and also when a patient's

general health issues and medications may be affecting their eyesight.

 

 

Vision Insurance is meant to cover simple, routine vision exams

including a basic refraction procedure and a basic eye health screening.

Vision Insurance coverage for glasses and contact lenses vary

significantly and can be very confusing to patients. We will help sort

through these optical situations for our patients using Vision Insurance.
