Why it matters
Routine eye care and medical eye care are different
Vision insurance is designed mainly for routine care, such as eye exams and eyewear. Eye injuries and eye diseases are generally handled by health insurance instead, depending on the plans you have.
Before you enroll, look at how often exams and eyewear are covered, how the allowances work and which eye doctors and stores are in network. Those details shape how useful the plan is for your family.
Vision coverage works in addition to health insurance, so it helps to know which plan to use for each type of eye care visit.
Answers
Vision insurance questions
Straight answers to common questions. If yours is not here, call or text our agency.
Many plans cover either eyeglasses or contact lenses in a given period, not both. Check the plan details or ask our agency to review them with you.
Some health plans include certain eye care, especially for children, but routine adult eye exams and eyewear are often not included. A separate vision plan can help fill that gap.
It depends on the plan. Many vision plans have a network, and out-of-network visits may be covered at a lower level or not at all.
