Medical Insurance:
What does my Medical Insurance cover?
If you are having a problem with your eyes or vision that is found to be caused by a medical condition, such as allergies, dry eyes, cataracts, ect., then your exam is considered medical care. For example, if you're having difficulty seeing with your glasses, and the doctor finds that this is caused by cataracts, then your exam is medical care. Likewise if there is a need to prescribe any medication to treat any condition. If you have a pre-existing condition or any disease that can affect vision (cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.) then your exam may be considered medical care. These services would then be covered by your major medical insurance. We are providers for many Medical panels including Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans. Vision plans do not cover medical eye care. |
