We carry most major medical and vision insurances. To see a list of the insurances that we currently carry, please CLICK HERE.
Vision insurance plans are for routine eye exams only. Routine exams are defined as exams that solely update eyeglasses and contact lenses. They do not cover any medical conditions such as diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, dry eyes, allergies, red eyes, etc. These conditions are covered by medical insurance plans.
We offer self-pay options as an alternative.
There are two ways to check:
1) You may follow-up with your insurance company either by calling them directly or by visiting their website.
OR
2) You may call our office at 678-625-EYES and we can confirm the information for you.
It will depend on your insurance plan, but most plans typically offer benefits on a yearly basis.
Unfortunately, we no longer accept Medicaid.
Yes, we do accept Medicare.
In order to use Medicare, a medical exam has to be done (diabetic exam, infections, red eye, dry eyes, allergy, etc.). Medicare will not pay for routine eye exams for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Medicare will pay 80% of the exam cost once the deductible has been met. The patient is financially responsible for the remaining 20% either by utilizing a secondary insurance or another method of payment.
Yes, but only after the patient has had cataract surgery.
Refraction helps to determine the prescription for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses. It is considered to be a non-covered benefit by Medicare, so this will be an out of pocket expense.
If a patient is not interested in a prescription for eyeglasses and/or contact lenses, the refraction cost will not be charged.
Our advertised price is for routine exams. Medicare does not cover routine exams. It only pays for medical exams which cost more than a basic routine eye exam.
Yes, but vision and eye care items must qualify as medically necessary to be considered an eligible expense.
Your FSA/HSA funds may be used to cover the following costs: co-pays, co-insurances, deductibles, eye exams, prescription eyeglasses (including reading glasses), prescription sunglasses, prescription contact lenses and prescription safety glasses.
We offer self pay options for items that are ineligible (non-prescription eyeglasses, non-prescription sunglasses, non-prescription contact lenses, and non-prescription safety glasses).
