At West Village Eyecare, our goal is to promote good eye health and enable you to have the clearest vision possible. We accept several types of vision insurance, cash and credit cards. We inform our patients about exam and treatment costs at the beginning of your appointment. If you require a breakdown of costs, please let us know.
Vision Insurance
The knowledgeable staff at West Village Eyecare is experienced in working with vision insurance providers. We will work directly with you and your vision insurer to submit claims regarding your vision care. We strive to ensure that you understand your insurance coverage and will answer any questions you may have regarding your benefits. Many current vision plans are designed to cover many of the basic vision-related costs, but not all costs associated with eye care. Most plans often require a co-payment for an office appointment as well as additional costs that are covered by the insured patient.
Insurance Plans
Vision insurances we accept are: VSP, Cigna Vision, Guardian Vision, MetLife Vision, EyeMed, Aetna Vision, Spectera and United Healthcare Vision.
Medical Healthcare Insurances we accept are: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare and United Healthcare Oxford. Check with our staff if you have other types of coverage.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Sometimes these are referred to as cafeteria plans and are elective, supplemental insurance savings plans. These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses such as eye exams, glasses, contacts, and often laser vision surgery. Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs can typically be used in conjunction with any vision insurance plan to offset any out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.
Other Payment Options
Our optometry staff understands that cost is a concern when evaluating vision care providers. We do not want cost to be an obstacle to maintaining proper eye health and good vision. At West Village Eyecare Associates, we accept two forms of payment. We accept cash and all major debit/credit cards. We do not accept check.
