Vision and medical plans

Medical insurance is used for the following chief complaints:

· "My eyes itch"

· "I'm diabetic and need my eyes examined"

· "I have a red eye,"

· "My eyes are dry"

· "Things look blurry" (caused by a medical condition, like cataracts, where glasses won’t correct the blur)

Medical Insurance

Insurance in eye care is unique because optometrists are providers for both vision and medical insurances. Sometimes we don't know which insurance will be billed until you are in the office. Your chief complaint, or reason for the visit, dictates which insurance applies. See the list below for a list of insurance companies with which we participate.

As of April 2011, retired GM employees may be seen in network by optometrists.
