Insurance at Global LASIK & Cataract Institute

Medical eye care is covered the way any other medical care is. Elective vision correction is not. Here is where the line falls and how we handle benefits on your behalf.

What is typically covered

Medical eye exams, cataract surgery with a standard lens, and treatment for conditions such as dry eye disease, glaucoma, keratoconus, pterygium and corneal disease are generally covered by medical insurance and Medicare, subject to your plan's deductible and co-payments.

Premium lens upgrades at the time of cataract surgery, including multifocal, toric and the Light Adjustable Lens, are an out-of-pocket addition to the covered procedure.

What is elective

LASIK, PRK, SMILE, EVO ICL and refractive lens exchange are elective and are not covered by medical or vision insurance. Ask whether your vision plan offers a discount on laser vision correction; our team can check.

Plans we accept

We accept Medicare, most PPO insurance plans, VSP and EyeMed. Our team can confirm whether your plan is accepted.

How we verify benefits

Before covered treatment our team confirms your coverage with your plan and explains your estimated responsibility. Call (855) 456-2253 to ask whether we accept your plan.
