Insurance Information
La Verne Optometry strives to keep informed about the many different insurance plans available to our patients. We are a participating provider for many vision and major medical insurance plans. When you arrive at our office we will ask you for information regarding both - your vision plan and your major medical plan. This is necessary because many of our services are not covered by basic vision plans, but are covered by your major medical carrier. This can sometimes be confusing because most patients don't realize there is a difference between insurance types.
Basic Vision Plan Coverage
Vision Service Plan (VSP) is an example of a vision plan. A basic vision plan provides your family with coverage for an eye examination at a pre-determined interval set by your employer in conjunction with the vision plan administrators. This coverage is usually available to you once every 12 or 24 months. Most of these plans provide coverage for an eye examination, and some benefit towards glasses or contact lenses. The specific benefits vary by individual contracts.
Major Medical Insurance Coverage
In the course of your examination we may discover that you have an eye condition with a medical diagnosis such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, lazy eye, ocular migraines, or dry eyes. Because these conditions are related to your general health and sometimes require specific additional tests they may be billed to your medical carrier.
