Vision insurance is not the same as medical insurance. Vision insurance is a wellness benefit to help provide routine eye care and prescription eyewear at a reduced cost. Medical insurance pays toward the diagnosis and treatment of an eye injury or eye malady (such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes mellitus, dry eyes, itchy eyes, headaches, double vision, conjunctivitis, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and others.) Both types of insurance can be of help to you and your family.
Our doctors at Advanced Eye Care Services provide both medical and routine eye care. We participate in a number of insurance plans to help cover your cost. Regrettably some insurance plans don't allow us to provide optimal care for our patients; therefore, we do not participate with them. Here are just some of the plans that we accept:
