Insurance Information
Insurance has evolved into a complex array of products with a
complex array of payment schemes. We understand your frustration with issues
such as ‘copays’, ‘covered and non-covered services’, ‘deductibles’…etc. and
will try to work with you to maximize your benefits and minimize your fees.
We do ask that any required copay be settled at the time of your visit so as
to reduce our postage and handling costs. For your convenience we do accept
Visa and MasterCard as well as debit cards.
We participate with most major insurance plans including, but not limited to
the following:
Advantra
Aetna
Community Life
Cigna
Elderhealth
Gateway
HealthAmerica
Highmark Freedom Blue
Highmark Security Blue
Highmark PPO Blue
Medicare (and most Medicare Secondary Plans)
Railroad Medicare
Unison
United Healthcare
UPMC (All plans)
We also participate with several “Vision Plans”:
Davis Vision
Eyemed (select plans only)
NVA
Opticare
Spectera
VBA
Please keep in mind that ‘vision coverage’ as provided by these ‘Vision
Plans’ is intended only for routine ocular examinations, refractions, and
dispensing of spectacles. If you have a systemic condition (diabetes,
hypertension…) or an ocular disorder (glaucoma, cataracts…) that mandates an
exam, it may be necessary to use your medical insurance rather than your
‘Vision Plan’. Please check with us if you are unsure which insurance is
appropriate.
We pride ourselves in maintaining a patient friendly environment.
For your convenience, we have a full-time optician and an optical dispensary with over 500 spectacle frames on site.
