At Twenty Twenty Eyecare we treat and manage the health of your eye. Most people have medical insurance and a vision plan. They are very different in terms of the services they cover and it is important for our patients to understand those differences.
Vision plan:
Vision coverage Is mainly designed to determine a prescription for glasses and it’s 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.
Vision plan benefits may include coverage for:
- Myopia (nearsighted)
- Hyperopia (farsighted)
- Presbiopia (difficulty focusing)
- Astigmatism
- Computer eye strain
- Lenses
- Frames
- Contact lenses
Medical Insurance:
When a medical condition is present (such as diabetes, cataracts, dry eye, floaters, etc) it is necessary to file the visit with your medical insurance. Co-pays 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.
Medical plan benefits may include coverage for:
- Sudden loss of vision
- Eye pain
- Lazy eye
- Double vision
- Pink eye
