Does insurance cover LASIK or other refractive procedures?
Most insurance companies view refractive surgery such as LASIK as a cosmetic or elective and therefore, do not provide coverage for this type of procedure. However, there are a select group of vision or medical plans that provide up to a 15 percent discount by choosing a participating provider. We are providers for most major medical plans and will be happy to check on your benefit for you. Using your employers’ Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or “cafeteria plan” is great way to save money on your procedure. In fact, we recommend it! With these types of plans, you are able to use tax-free dollars to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Please check with your employer’s human resources department to see if this benefit is offered for you. If you do not have insurance coverage, we offer affordable payment plans such as 12 months free financing and other financing options to allow you to enjoy the freedom of vision without your glasses or contact lenses today!
