The main difference between vision insurance and an eye exam billed through medical insurance lies in the purpose of the visit and what is covered:

Vision Insurance

• Covers routine eye exams and refraction for vision correction (e.g., glasses and contact lenses) with no medical eye issues.
• Typically includes benefits for eyeglasses or contact lenses with allowances or discounts.
• Used when there are no medical concerns-just a standard vision checkup.
• Common providers: VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, etc.

Medical Insurance

• Covers eye exams related to medical conditions like diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, eye infections, or sudden vision changes.
• Does not typically cover routine vision exams, glasses, or contact lenses.
• Billed if there’s a medical diagnosis requiring evaluation or treatment.
• Examples of medical plans: Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, etc.

If a patient wants an eyeglass prescription, and has medical insurance that does not cover a refraction, the patient will be billed $25 for the refraction.
