Paying . Two kinds of plan . A9

Insurance and paying.

Most people have two kinds of cover for their eyes and do not know it. Here is the difference, and what we do so you are not surprised at the desk.

Ask us to check your plan

Vision plans and medical plans do different jobs.

Plan A

Vision plan

Pays for the routine yearly exam and gives you an allowance toward glasses or contacts. Think of it as a coupon book. We take most major vision plans.

Use it for: checkups, new glasses, contact lens supplies.

Plan B

Medical plan

Your regular health insurance. It covers eye problems: infections, injuries, dry eye, glaucoma checks, diabetes eye exams.

Use it for: anything that is a problem, not a checkup.

Same chair, same doctor. What decides the plan is why you came in. If you book a checkup and we find an infection, part of the visit may move to medical. We tell you before that happens.
