LAS VEGAS - nvtip -- Vision insurance is a good way to reduce eye care expenses, especially if you are among the millions of Americans with some degree of vision impairment. According to the CDC, the cost of eye care prevents about half of Americans from seeing an eye doctor. In most cases, lack of adequate health insurance kept individuals from seeking care.

If you have health insurance, your policy may cover some vision services. However, it is important not to make assumptions about what is covered. Contacting a health insurance agent who will help you review your policy can prevent surprise bills if you need services later.

What Does My Health Insurance Policy Cover?
Your health insurance policy covers services that address medical conditions, including eye-related issues. For example, health insurance covers vision surgery for fixing a detached retinal or removing cataracts, but it does not cover routine eye exams and items such as glasses or contacts.

What Does Vision Insurance Cover?
Vision insurance pays for a portion of expenses such as basic preventative care, including vision tests and eye exams. It also covers eyeglasses, including the lenses and the frames, and/or contacts.  Depending on your plan, there may be additional benefits, such as coverage for daily disposable contacts.

Vision insurance does not cover eye surgeries. If your optometrist notices a medical problem during your annual eye exam, they will refer you to a medical doctor, such as an ophthalmologist, for further evaluation. From there, your health insurance would pay for treatment if it were deemed "medically necessary".
