Understanding Vision & Medical Insurance
The type of insurance used depends on the reason for your visit and the care you receive, not simply that you're visiting an eye doctor. Routine vision care is generally covered by vision insurance, while the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and medical conditions are typically billed to your medical insurance. In some cases, both types of insurance may be used during the same visit, depending on your benefits and the services provided.
It's possible for your insurance to change during your visit.
Many appointments begin as routine eye exams but become medical visits if the doctor identifies or evaluates an eye disease or other medical eye condition. In these situations, your medical insurance may be used in accordance with your insurance company's billing guidelines. If this occurs during your visit, the team will explain why the change is necessary, answer any questions you may have, and help you understand how it may affect your insurance coverage.

The type of insurance used depends on the reason for your visit and the findings during your examination.
