2 . Definition of Vision Insurance

Having vision coverage can help with the high costs of eye exams and prescription eyewear. Vision insurance is basically a “wellness” benefit used for preventive eye care services, regular eye exams, and eyewear. Eyewear that is typically covered is glasses, frames, and contact lenses. Vision coverage does not cover a person who has an accident or disease concerning his or her eye. That would be covered by regular health insurance plans. Having vision insurance is important, especially if eye and sight problems run in the family.

Vision coverage may be obtained in a couple different ways. Many companies offer their employees an eye plan along with regular health benefits. Government programs such as Medicare or Medicaid can help people over the age of 65, or those who are disabled, to qualify for vision insurance. A vision plan may also be purchased on an individual basis through private companies. HMO’s, or health maintenance organizations, and PPO’s, or preferred provider organizations, may link their own vision insurance plan through their health insurance plans as an added benefit.

The following benefits will be received with vision insurance: The ability to see a number of providers, which will include optometrists and ophthalmologists, as well as access to preventive eye care services at a lower rate.

3 . Types of Vision Insurance Plans

There are usually two main types of vision insurance plans. Vision benefits packages or discount vision plans are the two types of plans offered to the public. Vision benefits packages usually offer those who enroll in services on eye care as long as an annual premium is paid or a membership fee is paid. They may also charge a deductible every year for each person who is enrolled. A Co-pay is also typically charged each time a member of the insurance plan uses a service.

Discount vision plans give members a quality eye plan at low rates that are set at a fixed amount. These are given after a membership fee or an annual premium, along with a deductible, is paid. These two vision coverage plans can be tweaked to fit the different needs of many customers. Many of the following vision services are included with these two types of plans, including annual eye exams, frames, and lenses for eyeglasses, contact lenses, and also LASIK and PRK vision corrections that may be discounted for the plan holder. The benefits of having a vision plan can be quite worth the money spent for one to obtain it.

4 . Costs of Vision Insurance

The costs of vision service and vision coverage will depend on the program you choose and how it is designed. You may expect to pay the following if you go with a vision benefits package: a membership fee or a monthly premium that can be anywhere from $0 to $12, deductibles from $0 to $35, a co-payment of $10 to $15 for each service rendered, and any out of network services that are not routinely covered. Those who choose a vision discount plan may pay: membership fees or a monthly premium that may be from $0 to $12, deductibles of $0 to $35, and a fixed price, which will always be discounted, for each service that you are provided from an eye doctor. Any expenses that are not in the vision coverage plan will not be covered, and will have to be paid out of pocket.

For those who have a vision eye plan through their employer, it is generally paid by a payroll deduction straight from your check. For those who have purchased vision insurance individually, they should plan on being either billed monthly or yearly, depending on the eye plan. It is important to review a vision service thoroughly before committing to one, as each eye plan will have differences that must be considered.
