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.
