Is emergency eye care covered by insurance?
Usually, through your medical insurance rather than your vision plan. Most medical plans cover urgent eye care visits. Vision-only plans typically don’t, so Ozark Eye bills medical insurance for emergencies.
Eye injuries, infections, foreign objects and sudden vision changes are medical problems, in the same category as dry eye or diabetic eye care. A vision plan such as VSP or EyeMed generally covers routine exams, glasses and contacts instead. Some visits use one plan, and some use both.
What you pay depends on your plan. Call (479) 208-6175 and the office can verify your benefits before your visit. See insurance and payment options for the plans Ozark Eye works with.
