Ultimately, you, as the patient, are responsible for being informed as to exactly what benefits you are entitled to through your health coverage. Your employer purchases a policy that they negotiated with the insurance carrier and sets the limits of your coverage. Through our experience, we may be able to help answer your questions, but we strongly advise that you check with your insurance company before visiting our facility. In most cases, you will be responsible for some payment at the time of service. Most insurance companies require a co-payment.
Health insurance is meant to cover medical care associated with an illness.
If the doctor finds a medical diagnosis during your exam, it is likely that your visit will be covered. This is most often offered through another company, such as Davis Vision, VSP, CVC, NVA, or similar programs. If you have coverage for routine eye care through a vision plan, please specify this when making your appointment. This usually requires prior authorization from the vision plan, a voucher or a referral. This may take several days to obtain and cannot always be done on the day of your visit.
