Disclaimer

We will check your vision benefit eligibility and make every attempt to help you understand and make the most of your benefits. It is important to understand that things can change between the eligibility check and the actual payment of the claim. For example, changes in insurance, lapse of time, new benefit years, claims that arrive to the payer after eligibility was checked, and purchases made between checking eligibility and placing an order for glasses or contacts. A quote of benefits is not a guarantee of benefits or payment. Charges not covered by your insurance company or benefit plan, as well as any co-payments, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts, are your responsibility.

Is My Treatment Covered by Insurance?

If your treatment is deemed to be elective (not medically necessary), it may not be covered by insurance. However, it is possible to pay for your out-of-pocket costs with funds from a medical spending account, like an FSA or HSA. We can also help you learn more about medical financing with CareCredit.

Financing Options

We accept the CareCredit credit card for out-of-pocket expenses. If approved, patients can take advantage of promotional financing options with convenient monthly payments. Explore promotional financing options using the Payment Calculator below.

  • LASIK and Vision Correction Procedures
  • Cataract Surgery

Paying for Care with FSA, HSA, and HRA Accounts

Patients can use funds from medical spending accounts like FSA (Flexible Spending Account), HSA (Health Savings Account, and HRA (Health Reimbursement Account) to cover the cost of care. These funds are specifically designated for healthcare expenses, and are employer-sponsored and tax-deferred. Funds from medical spending accounts may not carry over to the next calendar year, so it’s wise to use them before you lose them.
