Are contact lens fitting fees included in the vision exam?
Professional contact lens fitting fees are not considered a part of routine eye care and are not included in the vision exam. However, members who receive a contact lens fitting from a provider who also dispenses their contact lenses can apply the access of their materials benefit, if any, toward the cost of the fitting. It is important to remember that contact lenses must be purchased from the same provider who performed the fitting, and that only the balance of the materials benefit, after purchasing contact lenses, can be applied towards the fitting fee.
