Vision vs. Medical Insurance: What’s the Difference?

One of the most common questions we receive is why we ask for both your medical and vision insurance cards. These plans serve different purposes and can work together to cover different parts of your care.

Vision Insurance (e.g., VSP, EyeMed) is a wellness benefit that covers routine eye exams, prescription glasses, and standard contact lenses. Think of this as your "maintenance" coverage.

Medical Insurance (e.g., BCBS, Medicare) covers visits related to the health of your eyes. This includes care for conditions such as dry eye, diabetic eye exams, cataracts, glaucoma, eye infections, and other medical concerns that require diagnosis, treatment, or ongoing management.
