Navigating insurance coverage for eye care can be confusing. Many people have both medical and vision insurance but aren’t sure which one applies when they visit their optometrist. At Gilbert Eyecare, we want to help you understand the key differences between the two so you can make the most of your benefits.
Vision insurance typically covers routine eye exams and helps with the cost of glasses or contact lenses. On the other hand, medical insurance is used for eye conditions that require diagnosis and treatment, such as infections, cataracts, or dry eye. Knowing which type of insurance applies to your visit can help you avoid surprises when it comes to billing.
