When is an appointment billed to my vision insurance versus my medical insurance?

Most people have vision insurance and medical insurance. They are very different in terms of the services they cover and it’s important for our patients to understand those differences. Vision coverage (VSP, EyeMed, Davis, etc.) is mainly designed to determine a prescription for glasses and is not equipped to deal with complex medical conditions and/or diagnoses. It does allow for screenings of conditions, but once they are determined, then medical insurance is filed on those services. When a medical condition is present (such as diabetes, cataracts, dry eye, floaters, etc.) it is necessary to file the visit with your major medical carrier (BCBS, Aetna, UHC, Cigna, etc.) and the co-pays, co-insurance, and deductible for that insurance will apply. Insurance carriers set these rules and our office is required to follow them. In most cases, there is no way to know prior to the examination which type of insurance our office will be able to file for you.


What vision insurance providers are accepted?

Sometimes major medical insurance carriers have a vision plan added to your health plan; however they do not usually service the plan themselves. For example, Highmark’s Fashion Advantage Vision Plan is serviced by Davis Vision. If your card does not list the actual vision provider, call the member services number to see if they can assist you. If you still have questions about if your vision plan is accepted, please reach out to us by phone, text, or email.
