Does insurance cover the costs of laser vision correction?
Typically no, very few insurance companies will cover refractive surgery. Insurance companies usually look at refractive surgery as an elective procedure. However, many employers have “flex accounts” or cafeteria plans for unreimbursed medical expenses. A flex account allows you to use before tax dollars to pay for medical expenses that were either not covered by your insurance plan. Flex plans cover Laser Vision Correction as a reimbursable expense.
