The Benefits of Having Both Vision and Medical Insurance
Vision insurance usually pays for regular services like eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses. Medical insurance covers treatments for eye diseases or emergencies, such as surgeries or treatments for conditions like glaucoma or retinal issues.
Having vision and medical insurance ensures that patients can address all aspects of eye health, from routine maintenance to urgent care needs. This coverage helps to prevent vision loss and promotes overall well-being.
In the long run, you can have a peace of mind knowing that your finances are in order when more serious eye health issues arise.
Is Vision Insurance and Health Insurance The Same?
No. A vision insurance policy is not the same as health insurance. Regular health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to eye care emergencies, such as injuries or disease. They do not usually cover routine eye care.
Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost. It is not always included as part of a health plan and may be purchased as supplemental insurance.
