Medical & Vision Insurance
Vision Plan
(e.g. VSP, Versant,
Davis, Superior, Spectera, Cigna Vision)
A vision plan pays for determining a prescription for glasses/contacts and
purchase of lenses. If you have medical complaints, symptoms, or a history of
medical eye conditions, a vision plan will not cover services. Vision plans
require that we sign their contract agreeing to this.
Medical Insurance
(e.g. Blue Cross,
Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Medicare)
This covers medical eye problems. Conditions such as diabetes, infections,
allergies, dry eyes, cataracts, retina problems, or glaucoma mandate that
medical offices are required by law to file the claim with your medical
insurance. To do otherwise is considered insurance fraud.
I understand the difference between vision plans and medical insurance
and agree to billing decisions made by Master Eye Associates based on these
industry regulations.
