Frequently Asked Questions

Due to the nature and many options for Insurance Coverage, there is no simple answer to this question. We can break the answer down into two different types of insurance. Vision Plans and Medical Benefits.

Our practice participates with VSP and EyeMed vision plans. Both VSP and EyeMed will cover a Comprehensive Eye Exam less their copay. Both of these vison plans cover the Refraction as well. This means with a separate vision plan, Comprehensive Eye Exams are covered with very little to zero out of pocket costs to our patients depending on plan details. All other vision plans that are considered Out of Network for our practice will typically reimburse patients directly with completion of a form and submission of an itemized paid receipt. Reimbursement amounts are between the patient and their Vision Plan, Bedminster Eye and Laser Center cannot guarantee reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs.

Traditional insurance plans, including Medicare Part B, will cover one Comprehensive Eye Exam a year. Medical diagnoses permit coverage by these plans. Refractions, the test for an updated prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, is typically not covered by medical plans. See our additional FAQ, “What is a Refraction?” It is recommended to verify your coverage with your Insurance Provider before scheduling an appointment.
