Medical vs. Routine Vision
Understanding the differences between vision and medical insurance is crucial. Here’s a concise guide:
Vision Insurance (e.g., VSP, EyeMed)
Purpose: Mainly for prescriptions for glasses.
Limitations: Not designed for complex medical conditions.
Screenings: Covers basic screenings, but medical conditions require filing under medical insurance.
Medical Insurance (e.g., BCBS, Aetna, UHC)
Purpose: Covers medical conditions affecting the eyes.
Examples of Conditions:
- Diabetes
- Cataracts
- Dry Eye
- Floaters
Important Points:
- Medical Complaints: If you have issues like sudden blurry vision, eye pain, flashes of light, headaches, or vision loss, we will bill your medical insurance, not your vision plan.
- Systemic Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases affecting your vision will be billed to your medical insurance.
- Pre-diagnosed Issues: If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, macular disease, glaucoma, or similar conditions by another eye doctor, we will use your medical insurance.
