If you're booking your first eye exam and feel lost trying to figure out your insurance coverage, you're not alone – and you’re not stuck. At , our team is ready to guide you through the fine print of your benefits, clarify your costs, and help you get the most from your vision plan. And yes – we’ll even call you.
Here’s what new patients in can expect when it comes to understanding insurance with our team:
We Confirm Your Benefits for You
Once you book an appointment online, we don’t just leave you hanging. We’ll give you a call to confirm your appointment details – and that includes making sure we’ve got your insurance information correct. If you’re not sure which plan you have or how much of your visit is covered, no problem. We walk you through it.
Even if your plan is a bit of a puzzle (we’re looking at you, VSP), we can still check your benefits and explain what you’re entitled to. For most plans, we’re able to give you a clear idea of what your exam will cost and whether you’ll need to pay anything out of pocket. And if something’s unclear, we’ll be upfront about it – so there are no surprises.
We Accept a Wide Range of Vision and Medical Insurance Plans
Some of the most common plans we accept include:
- United Healthcare (including medical)
- Spectera
- Humana (Medicare Part B only)
- Peach State
- Ambetter
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield
- Avesis
- Select UMR and Unum plans
We’ll let you know if your plan is one we work with – and if it isn’t, we can still help you figure out your options.
We Break It Down So You Know What You’re Paying For
During our confirmation call, we’ll take a few minutes to talk through your benefits in detail. If you're using insurance, we’ll explain what’s covered, what isn’t, and whether you'll need to pay a copay or any additional costs.
And we won’t just stop at theexam. While most vision plans cover the exam portion, the benefits for glasses or contacts can vary. Since we can't always see that information directly when we verify your plan, we’ll explain what questions to ask your insurance provider so you can plan accordingly. That way, if you want new glasses or upgrades, you’ll have a better idea of what your plan can help cover.
We Help You Maximize Your Vision Benefits
Insurance can feel like a maze, especially if you’re new to a provider or haven’t used your benefits before. Our staff knows how to help you get the most out of what your plan offers – whether that means timing your appointments right, using up flex spending before the year ends, or knowing when to upgrade your lenses.
We also keep an eye on how your benefits roll over. If you’re part of a plan that refreshes annually or includes frame allowances, we’ll make sure you’re not leaving any value on the table.

Our mission at is to take care of your eyes – and part of that means taking the stress out of using your insurance. From the moment you book online, our team goes to work behind the scenes, confirming your details, checking your benefits, and preparing a smooth, straightforward visit for you.
