Two kinds of coverage. Here's the difference.
A vision plan isn't the same as medical insurance, and which one applies depends on why you're coming in.
For routine eye care.
A wellness benefit for routine eye care, prescription eyewear and related services at a reduced cost. Most plans cover the basics, not everything.
- Usually covers a routine eye exam
- Often a co-pay for the exam
- Allowances toward frames, lenses and contacts
For eye health problems.
Protects you against costs from unexpected eye injuries or disease. We diagnose and treat eye infections and other medical eye conditions, and those visits are often covered.
- Medical eye visits are often covered
- Some plans include routine eye exams
- Some plans require a co-pay
