FEES FOR SERVICE
INSURANCE FOR COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM SERVICES
Vision & Learning Center works with all types of insurance on an "open network basis". As an open-access provider, we are not in-network but we can provide you with services/materials and still utilize your insurance benefits/coverage. If you provide us with a few pieces of information, we are able to pull your insurance eligibility and coverage and let you know how much you will pay for services and how much insurance will reimburse you directly.
Because we are an open network practice, we are not confined to the rules of your insurance policy. We have the ability to carefully select the labs we wish to work with to ensure that you get high-quality services and materials without the fear that it will break in a couple of months. We pride ourselves in the care we provide!
Payment Options
At Vision & Learning Center, our goal is to provide the best in vision evaluations. Payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, debit cards, Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express, and CareCredit.
Cash Pay
For cash pay patients we offer upfront fees for service and an in-house membership plan called the EyeQ club.
CareCredit

Ask your provider to find out which promotion is right for you. You do not need to select a promotion before you apply.
FSA/HSA Account
Many employers are offering Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options to employees. Eye exams generally qualify as a medically necessary service for FSAs or Health Spending Accounts (HSAs). These plans are designed to let you save money in an account, pre-tax, to pay for additional medical expenses. Check with the benefits administrator at your work to see if you are eligible for this program. FSAs or HSAs can typically be used to offset out-of-pocket costs on your behalf.
