BILLING

Most medical plans will pay for medical eye exams. A medical eye exam may include treating diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, or uveitis, to name a few conditions. Some medical plans will also pay for routine eye issues such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. If your medical insurance plan does not offer coverage for routine eye services and you do not have a vision plan that we participate with, you may be asked to pay for all or a portion of your eye exam visit when checking out.

For more information about our policies on medical insurance plans, please refer to our Check-In Form when you visit our office.

VISION PLANS

Visions plans typically pay for routine eye services such as annual eye exams, glasses, and contact lens services. During an eye exam, a physician may find a medical problem with your eyes (for example, glaucoma or cataracts). If you are deemed to have a medical eye problem, and you do not have a medical insurance plan that we participate with, you may be asked to pay out of pocket for all or a portion of your eye exam visit when checking out.

We only accept the following vision plans associated with Vision Service Plan (VSP):

Cigna Vision
MetLife Vision
Vision Service Plan Choice & Signature Plans

Important: If you are a patient who only has (an accepted) vision insurance, it is our company policy that you must been seen by one of our optometrists for your eye exam. If our optometrist determines that you have a medical eye condition, the optometrist will refer you to see one of our ophthalmologists for follow-up care.

NVOA also participates with several charities and programs to provide eye care to the residents of Northern Virginia.
