Insurance

We accept two types of insurance for patients in our office: eyecare insurance and healthcare insurance.

Eye Care Insurance

Generally covers: routine eye examinations, eyeglasses and contact lenses

An example is Vision Service Plan (VSP)

The best way to know about your insurance and what it covers is to call the office. Many times, we can check online while you're on the phone and find out about your coverage.

We are providers for:

  • Vision Service Plan
  • EyeMed

These insurers also provide coverage under other names. Please call the office if you have vision insurance that is not listed. We can let you know if our office is a provider for that plan. If we are not a provider, just come in for your exam, pay our usual fees and we will provide you with a statement that you can submit to your insurer or employer for reimbursement.

Medi-Cal and Nevada Medicaid

We are not providers for either California Medi-Cal or Nevada Medicaid. Due to state budget problems, these two programs no longer cover routine eye care.

Health Insurance

Generally covers health related eye visits (infections, injuries, cataract, macular degeneration, glaucoma); does not cover routine visits, glasses or contact lenses.

Examples: Medicare, BlueCross, HHP, St. Mary's Health Plan. Some of these insurers also contract with another company for vision care. Call the office and we'll find out what you are covered for.

Here is a summary of what Medicare covers

Spring is here!

Now that Spring is here, we're seeing our Snowbird patients starting to come back to the office. This got us to thinking around the office...now's the time to come in and have your routine exam, order contacts or glasses, or schedule surgery. While moving back is an exciting time, and maybe you don't want to worry about health care right now, now is really the time to get things going.

If you have your routine and non routine care earlier in the Spring rather than waiting, we have more time to complete your treatments. We want to avoid setting someone up for surgery or starting the contact lens fitting process in the Fall when you're planning to go back to your Winter home in several weeks. In this way, we can be sure to have everything relating to your eye care done before you need to leave our wonderful area.

So, give the office a call and set up your appointment today! Then we won't all be in a rush in October.
