Vision Insurance vs. Medical Insurance

Your reason for being seen by the eye doctor and the results of your examination will determine whether your insurance company will classify the exam as “routine vision” or “medical.”

Vision Insurance is typically billed when you see an eye care provider for a routine eye examination. This may include checking vision, updating glasses prescriptions, and screening for eye diseases. Examples of a routine eye exam diagnosis will include nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Many vision insurance plans include some type of coverage or discounts towards a portion of your frames, lenses, or contact lenses. By law, Medicare does not pay for routine vision exams or refractions.

Medical insurance is billed when you see an eye care provider for a medical condition. For example diabetes, glaucoma, cataract, red eye, dry eye, etc. Depending on your policy, your medical insurance may cover a medical exam, but not pay for the exam if it is a routine eye exam. Examinations for medical eye care, assessment of an eye complaint, or follow-up on an existing medical condition are billed to your medical insurance plan.

Refraction is the part of the examination that determines your glasses prescription. This involves the use of special equipment and participation from the patient such as “Which is better 1 or 2” as different lens combinations are demonstrated. A spectacle prescription will be provided to you as a result of the refraction. Vision insurances typically cover a routine eye exam including refraction, medical insurances including Medicare will not cover the refraction.
