WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED

Thank you for choosing EyeCare of Vermont as your provider for eye health and wellness! Before you visit our practice it is important to understand how insurance may cover your visit. There are two types of health insurance plans that cover optical services and materials. You may be eligible for both types, so please review this page to better understand your options. Be sure to address any questions with our knowledgeable staff.

Routine vision plans such as VSP only cover services related to the management of imperfect vision and general wellness checks. They may cover materials such as prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. These plans do not cover medical exams or services.

Medical insurance plans (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, MVP, etc.) cover services related to the diagnosis, management, or treatment of eye-related medical conditions. Those conditions include but are not limited to cataracts, diabetes, eye injuries, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

In some cases it may be necessary to bill some services to your routine vision plan and others to your medical insurance plan. We use a process called Coordination of Benefits to minimize your out of pocket expenses.

Patient Resources

In-Network Routine Vision Insurance Plans

EyeCare of Vermont is in network for most Vision Service Plan (VSP) and EyeMed Vision Insurance plans. We do not participate in certain Discount Plans. Our staff can provide more information.

We are not in network for any Davis Vision or Spectera plans.

In-Network Medical Insurance Plans

EyeCare of Vermont is in network for many major medical plans including Medicare, Tricare, Vermont Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, MVP, United Healthcare, and CBA.

In some cases, medical insurers may offer routine vision coverage which actually provided by a third-party insurance company. We may be in network for your medical insurance plan but not the vision plan they choose to carry. For example, some United Health Care plans include “UHC Vision” which is actually provided by Spectera. Federal employees with medical coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield may have a card for FEP Blue Vision. This appears to be a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan but may actually be provided by Davis Vision or VSP.

For the most accurate information about your eligibility and coverage, we recommend calling your carrier’s customer service department.
