WHICH TYPE OF EYE EXAM IS FOR ME?
ROUTINE EYE EXAM
A routine eye exam is a basic screening to check vision and update your prescription. Vision plans only cover a routine exam and may cover materials for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses.
Vision plans DO NOT cover medical eyecare (the diagnosis, management, treatment or follow up visits of eye problems). An example of a vision plan would be Davis Vision or VSP.
If you have both types of insurance plans it may be necessary for our office to bill accordingly. If some fees are not covered by your insurance, you will be billed for them. This includes co-pays, deductibles, or non-covered services as allowed by the insurance contract.
