If none of the above apply to you, this constitutes a routine “well-vision” exam. During a routine exam, your eyes will be examined for any needed visual correction (glasses, etc.) and screened for potential indicators of eye disease.
Please be aware that many insurance plans do not cover “routine” eye exams and will only cover your exam if you have medical symptoms related to the eyes or you are diagnosed with a medical eye condition.
Some insurance plans will cover a routine exam once every 1 or 2 years, depending on the policy.You must notify our staff in advance of your exam if your plan will cover a “routine” eye exam. If you are unsure, we recommend that you check with your insurance company prior to your exam. Once we submit a claim, it cannot be changed from medical to routine or vice versa.
